Did he go back to haul out the carcass? Not if he has any sense... And I am sure he does... And, what would be the point? So...did he take any part of the bear back with him? Head paws claws" hide? Or was it just a culling of the bear population? Don't get it...somebody please explain..Thanks!

Congrats to the hunter. We shot a 8.5 footer that fell in a creek once. It wasn't so cold that it froze, but that hide with the head and feet in it probably went 200 lbs since it was soaking wet. We got it lashed to my pack and I had my two buddies pull me up. Luckily it was only about a 1/2 mile pack, but it bent the hell out of my freighter frame. Awesome stuff!

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.

Same relative size bear shot on Kodiak by OlBlue. It dove into the saltwater and stayed there for quite a while as the tide receded. Three posters from here, me included, saw the bear,skinned the bear, and moved the bear around...
200 pounds is a ridiculous estimate unless the bear hide was still carrying well over 50 pounds of fat and flesh.
I have seen 200 pound wet bear hides, but they were from far larger bears.
Sorry if that does not fit your version of things, nor your memories, but I have had bear hides on scales too many times to accept the number 200 on an 8.5' bear hide, skull in.

would have to say that since art didn't see how well or closely it was skinned, the 200 pound number could easily be wrong or right. Doesn't much matter though, I'd say it classified as MF/SOB trying to stand up....
I doubt I could stand with 150 anymore. Damn sure not 200.

I doubt I could stand with 150 anymore. Damn sure not 200. Sorry, skinned too many and weighed them for 200 to be a real number. Leaving well over 50# of flesh on a hide that size does not count as skinning it... and that is accounting for feet, skull, and plenty of water.

Or was it just a culling of the bear population? Don't get it...somebody please explain..Thanks! Brown bear meat does not require recovery. The hide and appendages is all normally recovered on a brown. I don't know that anyone eats brown bear meat other than other browns and carrion eaters.

I know lots of folks that eat brown bear and there GMUs that have subsistence hunts that require removal of meat for brown bear. Having been around it, I can say it's not for me--it is for the mature palate....
