Wowza, that would be a rush for sure!



Great pics as well Ebby, what do you figure the hide weighed?

Looks like a pretty good load.

Sam, apparently you take the bears size in feet (squared) and square it to he the approx weight of the hide. 8ft bear weighs approx 65, 9ft 80, etc. mine was 8.25-8.5 squared so about 70lbs for me. I had about 20-25 in my pack before so I packed out about 90-95lbs. Guide took the skull which weighs about 10-12 lbs.

Very cool. Heart rate had to be up a bit knowing he knew you were there and was squaring off.
