So Killbilly picked me up for an evening bear hunt around 6 pm. We took off and before we could leave the developement a guy notices the large bear stickers on Killbilly's door and says, "theres a bear, we have a bear". I say, "in the back of the truck" and he says "yea". So of course we have to take a look. We get out and this guy has a whopper of a bear.
It did not have a lot of fat on it, but it was healthy and it had a melon of a head. We figured maybe 7 years old, a head around 19 inches and real close to (if not more) 300 lbs gutted. It was his first bear and there were a few little mistakes made in the field care so there probably won't be a mount, but it is definately a great bear, let alone a guys first bear. Congratulations!
The cool thing is they live about a block away..what a cool way to meet your neighbors.
The sad part is that I think he killed it where I was planning on hunting in the morning.
Oh, and for those of you that thought I killed it... shame on you. :chuckle:What would make you think that?
Like I said before, the pics don't do it justice. Maybe Killbilly's turned out better?
