So the whole thing is an optical illusion and its really not a bear at all? :chuckle:
We get that the angle photo's are taken enhance features and may over state the size be it fish or a giant bear but is that photo really mis representing something..Just askin

I see nothing wrong with this picture that apparently offended you in some way??? That is an absolute toad of a bear and I can personally say that I've never harvested or even had a chance to take anything bigger. I think that if most hunters had put a quarter of work that he did to take this boar it would've put them in the hospital.

p.s. This is not the time or the place to get into a pissing match about photos(or anything for that matter). Next time someone doesn't want to post a photo of their success, I will understand why. Let it go.

Real nice, pig of a bear. As far as the photo "perspective" comments are concerned: lighten up Francis. Everyone on this site likes to take a swat at the successful hunters. It's a rite of passage here.
I've been called out by a moderator for cracking a joke to a friend of mine on here so I know how it goes on Pianoman ;).
I agree I ranted a little, comments like that (if it was malicious) I think need to be swatted back harder. If there was no mal intent then make it a little more obvious and I take back my rant.

Any pics of the teeth. That may give a bit of a hint as to age. Great color on the hide as well.
I will get one and post it up

That bear is one of the biggest black bears I've ever seen. I swear it's the bear I had to pass up a few years ago after I just packed out a bear on a spring hunt. I was hunting in the wenaha unit but he was on the border road of the Mountain view or tucannon unit's. Dude, that is a bad a ss, huge bear!!! What a stud! Please let us know how big the head measures, that is a blackbear of a lifetime. Nice job and thanks for posting those awesome pic's. :tup: :tup:Great post Trophy!!

Thanks, I sure wish I knew if that was the bear I had to let go. I saw it after loading my other bear in the truck and was driving down the road, I came around a corner and he was standing in the road. I swear he could have sat on my hood (4x4 Nissan Pu at the time), he had huge prints and looked just like that bear. Everyone I told in town (troy) about what I saw, said I should have thrown the other bear down the hill and shot the big one!! I was shocked about what they said but I guess they don't care for the bears down there, too many of them and they eat the calves.That bear is one of the biggest black bears I've ever seen.

I don't have a NW big game record book, but if any of you do Iwas wondering where that green score places this bear in Wa?
Not in the top 10.

You'll be tied at 32 with 3 others if it doesn't lose anything in drying for 60 days. There's 3 people at 20 4/16 right now, 6 at 20 3/16, and 3 at 20 2/16. Great bear and definitely a book bear in the NW or in B&C. Congratulations!
Thanks for looking that up

I think it's so cool to get the live pics. No way I would have chanced it; I'd have been to scared of losing him.
What a brute.
I'd love to hear the story.
P.S. I vote a for 6 month ban on the first jerk who scoffs at a posted weight. Let them go be an internet bear expert somewhere else.

It had to be boned out to get it back to the truck so there's no official weight, One thing that I'm sure of is that his guess at the weight is closer than I could come up with by looking at the picture.

Congrats on a dandy.
I would bet it is over 400. Not by much but it is over 400
