Gents,
I was reading a hunting magazine today and in one article the author indicates that the black bear he shot in British Columbia measured 8ft 6in. He didn't use the term 'squared', just that it was 8'6" and the skull scored 20 8/16ths.
This is the largest black bear I've heard about. Not weight wise (not listed) or by skull lsize, but just in length. Heck, an 8'6" brown bear is darn respectable!
How many 8ft+ blackies do you guys know about being taken anywhere?
