Title: NE WA hot chocolate bear
Post by: daydreamn on March 14, 2011, 10:05:41 PM: Had a request to post this bear I took a few years ago in the NE corner. This is the first bear I've done. My daughter, three at the time, was with me when I killed him and she said he was a "hot chocolate bear." We broke the scales trying to weigh him but figured he weighed between 360 and 400 lbs. His skull measured 19 7/8 inches.
