8.5' bear... 200 pounds of wet hide???????
Nope...
Head, hide, and paws soaking wet. I skinned that bear in shin deep water after I couldn't float it any longer from deeper water.
If it wasn't 200 lbs it was damn close. Close enough in my mind to use that number. Send me your email address and I'll include you in an email to my friend asking him what his thoughts on the weight was.
I'll tell you one thing Art, I have no need to tell bullshit stories.YMMV.
