Title: Extra large Washington Black Bear Skull/Euro
Post by: Elkstuffer on July 10, 2009, 09:33:10 PM: This bear was shot in the Cowiche unit during a coyote hunt. The hunter was shooting .243 FMJ. He shot it once in the head and he dropped in his tracks. He scored 20 10/16.

Post by: Elkstuffer on July 11, 2009, 08:51:40 AM: I'm assuming that he saw it and shot it. He didn't say anything about it charging him. :chuckle:

Last I checked you cannot hunt bear, deer or elk with anything smaller than .24? Turn his ass in! Thats B.S.

Wow...how did I miss that. I thought it said .243. I must be getting dyslexic.

Big bear but the score don't matter if it was shot illegally.

Post by: Elkstuffer on July 11, 2009, 10:04:08 PM: My mistake. It was a .243. Sorry for the confussion.

Post by: BC CHASER on July 11, 2009, 10:04:16 PM: I think we need to turn up the heat. I would like to look at the whole in the skull and see if it is infact a .22. I also think we will have some backtracking on this one. It is B.S. !
Title: Re: Extra large Washington Black Bear Skull/Euro
Post by: BC CHASER on July 11, 2009, 10:06:44 PM: Ah ha I knew it. If he was coyote hunting maybe it was a .223.
Title: Re: Extra large Washington Black Bear Skull/Euro
Post by: Elkstuffer on July 11, 2009, 10:08:57 PM: OR it was a .243 and I made a typo. Mello out! If I thought for a second that it was taken illegally I would have turned him in myself. I'm in too good of standing with my local fish and wildlife to screw with illegal activity.

Post by: billythekidrock on July 11, 2009, 10:14:14 PM: I use a .243 for coyotes and since the 2, 3, and 4 are next to each other on the keyboard, I see how it very easily could be a typo.

Post by: BC CHASER on July 11, 2009, 10:29:08 PM: Alright I will lax. Bad typo to make but I can see it happen. I was hoping you were smarter than that. I cannot believe no one else picked up on that.
