haha. It was actually 364.7, so I rounded up.

Who knows what it really weighed, I was just using a chart. He was a fat bastard though, had two Eastern rat deer hunters in his belly.

Congrats Greeny. That is a nice looking bear for sure.

Greenhorn, I think you should change your name. You are obviously no Greenhorn. If I remember correctly you took a very nice bear last year as well. The one you got a couple days ago is gorgeous. Well done! I saw another bruiser bruin last evening. My buddy was not able to hunt. Hopefully we can get permission to hunt this property and maybe get on him tonight. Rufous.

Great looking bear there Greenhorn.Good job!

Rufus.. Greenhorn's an Amature.. Anyone can Shoot a 6' Bear. Big ol' target. It takes a REAL MAN to shoot a bear Like I shoot, when they are only 3'long it's 1/2 the target Plus, I think he';s talking about Elk and Deer... He's new to that sport I think

Greeny- Congrats! I really dig that camo scheme you got going on there!

 

[RockyDog]

That is a NICE bear, way to go.

What is that scar on his front right leg?

 

[Ten Bears]

Congrats on the bear Greeny. What chart were you using to estimate the weight?

 

[supersider34]

[Horn Seeker]

What a bear Kurt, right on Man!

Bear looks kinda small, plus you shot it with a rifle...big deal.

I hope to use my rifle and kill one just like it too.

Nice bear dude, congrats..........

 

[The Hedgehog]

Thanks. I used the bear chart from the Custom Osteo web site. He was 6'1 long and 49" around the midsection. Rocky, I think that scar was an old battle wound, he had one on his ear too.

That's a beutiful bear Greeny....
Way to go....

 

[rufous]

Well we did get permission to hunt some prime private property. They even gave us a key to the gate. This gives us sole hunting access to several square miles of awesome bear habitat. I went back up there by myself Sunday evening and saw a big black one. We could not find him last night but will try again this evening. Rufous.

 

[ELKCHSR]

Thats awsome Rufus, good luck on that one...

Hiking back to truck last night and saw a nice one in at the edge of my light. Nice spread of the eyes. Since I didn't kill can I claim it was a 400+ pounder?

 

[smalls]

Based on your description, I would say it was at least 400

 

[Horn Seeker]

Were the eyes over 4.5 inches apart? If not, he will not go over 300.

 

[Rogue 6]

Well I'd guess it was about a hundered yard out. Using my own offically calibrated eyes, I'd guess its eyes had true "imbred spread". And since I didn't kill it, it must have been well in exess of a 6 inch spread. "Honest honey its 10 inches."
