Post by: madmack76 on September 16, 2012, 02:14:29 PM: big enough to shoot thats for sure

Post by: remington300mag on September 16, 2012, 02:27:35 PM: I would not say 400 pounds......Hard one to guess though cause his body is not the typical "Monster bear" frame....but he is sure a fatty! Could surprise ya!!!
If ya get him I will put my guess at 277 1/4 pounds.....

I would also probably not shoot him around that salt lick......I would think that is baiting.

Post by: buckcanyonlodge on September 16, 2012, 02:50:44 PM: I have the trail cam and salt for deer. Do bears lick salt blocks? This bear (I think) is feeding on a wild plum tree and pear tree left over from an old homestead in the early 1900's about a quarter mile away next to a spring. We'll set up on the hill this afternoon and wait until dark. Hope he comes out when there is still enough light for shooting. We took a nice chocolate from the plum tree last year. Gotta go... I'm guessing 277 1/2 :)

Post by: bearpaw on September 16, 2012, 09:54:09 PM: That bear has had some serious groceries... gonna tip the scale pretty good!
Title: Re: OK .......... IS THIS A 400# BEAR????????????
Post by: RadSav on September 16, 2012, 10:45:13 PM: Wholly Crud! He ate Aunt Jemima whole! You can even see her skeleton pushing out his side :yike:

I'd say he's breaking 400. Also looks like a bear that hasn't had to forage much for whatever donuts he's been eating. Is there a slaughter dump or cornfield slough close by? A bear that big would normally have large shoulders and muscular hinds which he does not. Either has an easy source of unlimited food or is full of 100 pounds of worms. I certainly would not be expecting to eat that bear if I shot it.

Not a flat lander just good food. Here are a couple pics of the wild plums and area where "Pork Chop" lives. Went in last night and my hunter missed a 300 yd shot at a smaller bear.

Post by: Axle on September 17, 2012, 09:14:33 PM: It obviously has not been drinking 'light' beer (or eating light deer).

Post by: Mudman on September 27, 2012, 09:18:16 PM: Nope not 400. Its 399!! What a fatazz. Wow. Im no bear expert but I would say its gotta be close.
Title: Re: OK .......... IS THIS A 400# BEAR????????????
Post by: mossy8352 on September 27, 2012, 10:21:07 PM: Well from the picture he looks bigger to me. See you Tuesday for some turkey hunting!
Title: Re: OK .......... IS THIS A 400# BEAR????????????
Post by: grizzlyadams on September 28, 2012, 04:30:25 AM: Ya he's a big one alright. Not your typical large frame bear though. If he is over 400, it because of all that fat. Once yo get him carved up and boned out, probably no more meat on him than your average 250 lb bear but he's a shooter for sure. Go get him and let us know :tup:
Title: Re: OK .......... IS THIS A 400# BEAR????????????
Post by: D-Rock425 on September 28, 2012, 10:57:36 AM: Im guessing he's closer to 300 than 400. 349.9 pounds

I'd Call him FAT *censored*...Deer get in my belly! :dunno: :IBCOOL:

How come he's not dead yet? From a heart attack? :sry: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
