Title: This bear is huge
Post by: turkey_slayer on May 08, 2011, 12:10:42 PM
Went to get my trail cam that I had put out back in march and was surprised at the size of this bear.  If you look on the tree just above his ear there is a dead spot.  When I stood upright with my arm stretched as high as possible I just could touch that spot.  I can touch 7 ft 2 inch flat footed.

He is a dandy.  I would love to see him at 15 yards with bow and tag in hand.  They are the hardest animal in the woods to size, but that is a shooter.

I second that, but I would prefer 10 yards!

Im guessing here but I would he has a white V patch.  I've gotten a few other pics of bears in this area that had a white V on their chest.
