Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game The bear rut

About June 1 on Vancouver Island. This bear was about 350 yards away across a big creek and then a swampy meadow. Point and shoot camera. Looked like a big bear to a friend and to me. Bear season was open and we were seeing bears, but we were fishing and not hunting. The friend lives there and has a 7 foot black bear and I helped a grandson tag one a little larger than 7 foot. Fun to watch bears in the spring. I'm still curious as to how big this one would have measured. We measure hides and skulls, never have weighed one.
