Mock stalk on this bear
« on: April 30, 2012, 08:45:25 PM »
While turkey hunting this weekend I put a mock stalk on this nice chocolate phase bear. I got to within 25 yrds before my partner started squeeking with his mouth. My shotgun was 50 yrds back with him. :bdid: We saw pile after pile of scat and the tracks of a monster. I layed a 3" shell in the pad of the print in the picture below. (different bear than in the picture)  He's got to be close to a 7 foot bear. My partner saw him the last two years and said he's the biggest bear he's seen.

Looks like two different bears to me??? The top pic looks like a big male, the second pic looks like a small bear by the looks of it's ears being close together.  Either way, sweet pic's and thanks for posting.

Nope, it's the same bear. Just goes to show you that it's important to judge a bear like you would any other animal - from all sides before you decide.

I didn't say that the bear in the picture was 7 foot. He's lucky to push 5 foot if I stretched his a little. :) The bear that made the tracks we had seen was possibly a 7 footer. I see 10+ bears a year come thru my shop. I'm not that stupid.  Reread the post!
