Got a call from my ole man saying a possible bear in his friends field. Neither one could make it out there to check, so I went out there and ended up shooting this hog at 16 yards! Definitely blessed and owe a lot to my ole an and his buddy for the opportunity to take this bear

How did you weigh him?

Pretty darn cool!  I've never eaten a corn fed bear.  Would be very interested to find out how he tastes.

GET IN MY BELLY!

That's a dandy. My brother saw a bear in corn field last year along Conway. I just went for a walk along the dike over in Conway, found a pile of bear scat right along a corn field with corn in it. Pretty cool.

Congrats, that's a monster of a Washington bear.

All these posts....   and nobody telling his bear is only 270 pounds....

What is Hunt Wa coming to??????

I jest.

I have never seen a bear remotely that size, dead or alive.

At 16 yards, I'd only want to see it dead.

Great job.

thanks for sharing.

I was a 100 percent skeptical when I heard about this bear.  Wow, look at that fat sucker.  He is crazy plump.   He's got a regular still in his belly.   Dang!   Corn fed andproud of it.

Bear fat makes great soap. Feed any animal enough corn and it will eat great! Crongrats at a nice bear!

This bear is a hog! But you should have weighed him yourself not at a place that charges "by the pound."

I'm the buddy of the Ole Man!!! He's smiling now but wait till he gets the bill for the corn the bear ate :o ( just kidding)  He's a good guy and I'm glad he got it! After I got the call he had shot the bear, I drove to the field to check it out. There was no ground shrinkage with this one!!! It took five of us to slide it into the back of his Truck. The truck looked a little low in the back end, as I followed him to the scale, the scale is certified for trade.
   About a month ago I walked the field from front to back to check the corn late one evening. That could have been a encounter with a serious pucker factor :yike:. I don't normally carry a rifle when I check crops!

I was wondering when some pics were going to surface. One of my co-workers was telling me about it, heard he was pretty tore up, hardly any ears left, scars all over and teeth worn down. Big Ol Boy for sure!!

A guy I work with that lives in the area he and I were just talking about this bear and he told me they found spots where this bear dug a pit so he had room to lay down on his belly and then just grab the corn stalks and pull it into him and lay there and eat it. Lol if that's true that would be a sight to see!  :chuckle:

Very typical for bears in corn to pull stalks to the middle, I've seen pictures where bears have made circles 30 or more feet across, with a big pile of stalks in the center

We have had bears in corn several times. Some will knock down large areas of corn. One large bear my son and I hunted three or four years ago would pull down15 to 20 stalks at a time, then sit and eat the kernels off the cob. This bear would leave the stalk standing and pull the ear off. And yes it dug large holes to sleep in. From the amount of sign it looked like he had been living in the field for a couple of months.
