Good looking boar. Congrats! And thanks for the write up.

Either way...its a great bear!

Awesome!  My wife hopes I find a big black like that one next weekend!

I'll say 278.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Man, you saw more bear in a few days then I may have all my life.  I think you need a personal photographer to go with you next time...  Great job.

I am definately in Bucklucky's ballpark.  I figured about 255-260.  I guess thats lowball to most.  No matter, its a great lookng bear.  I'd hate to have to deal with one in this heat.  Holycow....sort of like hunting in August.

If you're calling it big that should put it over 300  :chuckle: so I'd say something like 338.

I'm more interested on the green score on that head.   Heck with how much he weighs.
