Passed on this Springer with the bow.
« on: May 02, 2011, 12:57:11 AM »
Thought he would have made a decent rug, till he turned around. Not sure what happened here. Including all of the photos I took to get good reference. I would love to hear ideas of what's going on here, and possible weight ideas. Thanks, gang!

Oh yeah, threw one in for the Diamond crowd  :IBCOOL:

Nice bear!! Looks like he found a tree to rub on, pretty common this time of year. Looks like a 2 year old to me, 125# +- :dunno:  I am no bear expert though. Way to get close, pretty exciting I bet.  :) :)

I figured it was male-pattern baldness. At least I know it wasn't a sow :P When I saw him go into his den, I waited about an hour and had myself a peeky-boo inside. THAT was pretty exciting.

I agree, looks like hair might be matted with mud, I have never heard of a bear this early being rubbed. That happens more in June.

I'd have let him have it, that's for sure! Especially in bow range! Neat pictures anyways.
