Bad weather getting worse. 4 clients and all 4 killed bears. A couple of them glad to shoot and get back to normal weather. Did not kill anything huge but one bear was 9 foot 10 inches which isn't bad. Unless you mistyped that number, a bear that size must be bigger than 95% of bears killed in a year. We usually can kill a 10 foot square bear and over every season, usually at least one or more. 9 foot isn't bad. 9.5 feet is time to seriously think about shooting. Have a client that has a 10 foot plus that comes back waiting on an 11 foot or better bear quite often. Sad to say has not happened. I cannot claim a 10 foot bear yet for a client. My mentors best is 10 foot 10 or 11 inches IIRC. Honest squares not pulled and tugged and stretched. I think anyone should be happy with 9 foot and over. IMHO.. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

The guy can now wear a Captain Crunch badge. Last edited by las; 11/17/23. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender
