HP, it doesn't have to come out whole to be weighed.

Post by: HornPorn on August 08, 2008, 10:51:54 PM: ya, your right billythekidrock. I don't think it was on the rez. I work with a guy that Knows who killed it, he said he kills big bear every year.

It looked like a minivan crossing the road, took up one whole lane from nose to tail. The other bear with it looked like a 400 lb'er. It was strange seeing 2 bears that large together.
