beauty fall black bear

[monasheemountainman]

My bud and I took this guy, while we were out elk hunting....walked right into him pretty much, he had no idea we were there and one shot from his 300 win dumped him. he is 6'4 and weighed close to 400 lbs im sure...we both could not lift him into the sxs it took some grunt work but we got him loaded up...jet black legs and head but a beautiful brown coat...what a gorgeous bear he is...I was regretting letting him take the shot, as I spotted him but hey im happy he has a nice rug on its way

beautiful color and coat. What was his skull measurement?

[monasheemountainman]

I'm really not too sure on the skull...its pretty big though, i'll have to ask my buddy what it measured

[pnbrock]

he is a big dude the bear aswel.good to have muscle when packing out your own game

[monasheemountainman]

Yeah we're both over 6' and 200 lbs and that bear had probably 4" of fat on him no joke he was effin heavy was a bitch to load up luckily we could get the sxs to within a few hundred yards

[patbrennan]

Really nice bear. I can admit it, I am envious!

Great colours for a rug fer sure! Nice bear boyz. My pups would be salivating over all that greasy bear meat;)

[Husky7mm]

lol...

That bear could very well be 400 lbs.

Great looking bear OP, thanks for sharing, I got a black like that once. He was 270 lbs for just the carcass at the butcher, we cut off buckets of fat from that bear before we brought him in. The meat was good, farmer sauage, pepperoni and ham. His skull went 21 inches. Would love one that colour!

yeah man! This guy had so much fat! I'm guessing the weight for sure just based on the fact that both of us could barely drag him to the buggy let alone lifting him in.. sounds like a beauty bear you got too

[nazarow]

Funny how some hunts work out. Nice bear and thanks for sharing. I completely understand what you mean about trying to drag an animal that big and not being able to budge it. I’m pretty big and it makes you realize how big these animals are. Never got a bear before but have always had a tag for one the last 5 years. Maybe this is the year.

Great bear..notice the front paws..no wrists..mature bear..

You could be right. I think I’ve been too conservative is guessing bear weights. We saw lots of bears last year and my son usually asks me to guess their weights. I usually guess between 140 and 250 lbs.

Either way, it’s an awesome bear with a perfect hide.

Beauty black bear buddy! Interior bear? If so, that's a big bear for round here, congrats to you and your buddy, you guys just saved a lot of yearling ungulates...

[Jagermeister]

That is a nice bear alright.
But, you know what I like about him the best? He won't be around to snack on calves and fawns this spring and I am sure he had more than a few of those morsel over his life time.
Good job, helping the deer, elk and moose population rebound. http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon14.pnghttp://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon14.png

Nice job boys. Great to see. I have my eyes on the biggest bear I’ve seen on the island here for spring. Spotted him in the fall as well. Congratulations. Better get as many of the blackies while we still can.

I might come out to the island in the spring to hunt them big blackies, my brother in law is just getting into hunting and he lives out there so I thought we could do a hunt together

Nice work!
