Spring Black Bear- Shoot or Pass? (Youtube Vid)

[Wild one]

A very nice bear, seen the hide my self, 6'7".

Sounds like a good one

Hard to be 100% by the clip but my best guess would be just over 5 ft nose to tail on the round and skull in the 17's

everyone has different goals on what's a shooter but if I was looking for a big bear I would pass. If you want a good eater that is a shooter

what are you hoping for in a bear?

What the Wild One mentioned, also great patience shown in this scenario, wish you the best of luck on your hunt!!

Gonna need to make an imgur account before I can post pics, im sick of photobucket. Editing a video of the kill tonight. The bear i ended up killing was much bigger, a great mature boar. Scored the skull as best I could without calipers and came up with 19.5". Measured 6'6" from nose to tail, skinned with head and claws on. Will make a different thread for it tomorrow.

Once dry probably 19 1/4 but still a good bear sounds like you met your goal congrats

its up to you.. I thought it was a shootable bear.... I cant tell you if it was a boar or sow I watched the video too long ago and didn't think to look!

Dru, I thought only 7 footers were shooters in your book LOL!
