But how big is it? That's funny. And so true. The taxidermist MAY measure the skull - if someone gets on him about it. We're just a different breed here.

This Bear was taken about 15 miles from our land. There aren't a lot of Bears this far South and not a lot of hunters either in the area.
The dam things are running around like chickens farther North.

But how big is it? There is a drying period before they measure the skull.

Hide square and the skull's green score gives me much more comparable info than weight alone.

One guy shoots an 800 pound bear in the fall that weighed 500 pounds the previous spring, another guy shoots a 600 pound bear in the spring that weighed 825 the previous fall. Steve.

I am sorry I posted this.I thought a 780 pound bear was an achievement in it self. Apparently not.I wonder how many here have even seen a Bear over 300 Pounds.My guess is not many.
