Title: Okanogan black bear
Post by: TimBarlow on October 04, 2021, 05:39:09 AM: Here’s my 2021 black bear I took off my property in okanogan county. He’s a big boy. Smoked him on a lung shot at only 200 yards with a 6.5 creedmoor. Didn’t have a scale to weigh him in, but with 6 different guys guessing weights we all agreed he was atleast 350lbs before being field dressed. I haven’t scored him yet either. Will do that after work today
