my black booner

[jessbennett]

well guys to make a long story short i got a monster blackie. the old timer is an absolute monster. hes a real old boy. his top teeth were wore right down to gums. i have some pics to post, but dont know how to do it. if theres someone that can post them for me that would be awsome. the bear squares 7'11 and 1/2. and his head is absolutely gigantic.being the size of the head and i want to get it scored, (it has the potential to be high in the B&C), would it be bad to get the skull boiled? i dont want to lose any size on it.

one shot with the 338, 210 grain tsx dropped him in his trax.

i will post more of a story later.:mrgreen:

Congrats on a HOG! Squaring nearly 8' is gigantic! Not to mention the huge noodle on him. Great bear; looking forward to the story.

[Wild Images]

Run him through the bugs then keep in a cool place til getting scored, after that then degrease and whiten if you want.

Talk to srupp if you like, he is shipping down a skull for the same thing next week, we had a talk on the phone yesterday so he knows the drill and he knows his bears

we took a quick measure on it after skinning it out and trimming down to bone. and the length of the skull is rite around 15 inches. and the width is between 8 and 3/4 and 9. we just are rough measuring mind u, but what i have been reading, it has some potential and im very excited. its a bear of a lifetime to me!!!!!:-D

[srupp]

[BiG Boar]

Wicked bear man! Congrats, what do you figure he green scores at? Good thing you had the 338. Anything smaller would just bounce off of him.

[Glassman]

Nice Bear. My buddy and I got a dandy bear in the Windermere area some years ago. 8' 1" , 475lbs. The taxidermist used a grizzly head mount. Scored 21 and a bit. When I went back to get the skull the taxidermist dude was gone and never to be found again. At least I got my hide c/w head mount before he vanished.

[srupp]

is Jason still doing tannery stuff ?? I heard he got a job @ Polly Mine??

Steven Rutherford..on Pigeon Rd has mine.. and has a wicked new 1/2 life form coming out of the wall with a rock for the base...awesome..

Look forward to hearing the official score in a couple months!

For a frame of reference the world's record black bear scores 23 10/16"...being 14 12/16" long and 8 14/16" wide. Sounds like yours is similar!

[jessbennett]

you know what might do this guy justice.... Let us know how big you are!

Great bear.

im 5'11, and 310 lbs. does that help???:-D

[jessbennett]

[srupp]

ya just sucks being SECOND..LOL..
Your bear just BLOWS mine out of the water..lol snivel snivel..

I think the 1/2 mount Steven is doing ..would REALLY highlite the beast you shot..drop by and get the info regarding shipping the skull for beetle cleaning..

And IF the numbers hold up(beetles for this big boy are the ONLY WAY TO GO WHEN YOUR TALKING THE NEW WORLD RECORD BLACK BEAR !!!!)

and I have no reason to believe they wont..you will have THE BIGGEST BLACK BEAR SHOT IN THE WORLD...EVER...a great reason to treat that skull gently, carefully and use those beetles..every 1/16 of an inch is 30 names down..

congradulations

If it was that big and it was mine it would not leave my site until officially measured. I would pay the guy 100 bucks to ship me a handful of beetles and I would do it myself.

thanks for posting those. appreciate it. :-D

[BiG Boar]

Wow! THe way you're holding the head up makes the bears head look tiny! Considering it is in contention for the new world record, the body of the bear is making it look tiny! That is so awsome that you got a bear of this caliber. I would find a way to ingrave your name into the skull so that you know its yours if you're shipping it off somewhere. Lost in the mail would make me cry. Did you find out what you need to do to have it all official like? I heard of a guy who tried to enter a grizzly as a black bear and got in some hot water. It would just be terrible to get caught on some technicality. Any changes in the taxidermy plan now that it is up there in the book? Full mount for sure if it is what you say it is. IMHO. Cheers and good luck!

im going to be looking into a half mount i think. or just rug it. well as far as official like, i have to get the skull cleaned, dry 60 days and have it scored. and well this bear is not a grizzly. so im not worried bout that. :wink:
as far as being "caught" on a technicality im not to sure what you mean? bear was harvested on public land, fair chase, etc,etc.

tiny head?ummm......lol. theres nothing tiny about this bear.

[jessbennett]

skull should be heading for a date with some bugs today! anxious to see what it comes in at with a measurment.

[moosehunter21]

Congrats once again on the bear of a lifetime! Good work Buddy. Just remember to give us HBC'ers a shout out once your famous! lol

[ratherbefishin]

''teeth worn down to his gums''?-you did the old guy the biggest favour of his life,''dropped him right in his tracks''right in the middle of breeding season,he went out on top of his game.Life from here wouldn't be good

[Kitimat Killer]

wow that thing is a monster 23 10/16 is the biggest in the world man enter that bear in the boon and crocette and use the bugs

[jessbennett]

wow that thing is a monster 23 10/16 is the biggest in the world man enter that bear in the boon and crocette and use the bugs


the skull is on its way for a date with the bugs as we speak. now all i can do is wait and see what the numbers are. at any rate its a bear of a lifetime for me.

[martyonthewater]

congratulations, hope you take the crown on the B&C as well.

[jessbennett]

hahahahaha.... ya....... ok........... i will let you know in two weeks
when it gets scored"officially".
p.s. pope and young is for archery only.(min 18") but you knew that right?. the bear was shot with a gun not a bow....... minimum score to get into b.c. book is 19" and i can GUARANTEE you this bear will go over that. so just be patient.
hahahahajellydontknowhisassfromaholeinthegroundand isgoingtobethemaninthemoon

maybe some of the animals you have harvested in these areas that you ramble on and on about? maybe in some of the areas that you blabber about that is actually private land? private roads?

[hunter1947]

I agree with old Jelly bean I like the photo as well..

[325 wsm]

I also missed this thread earlier. Pig of a bear. By looking at your photo's I'd estimate the skull will go over the 21 B&C minimum after drying. Don't pay no attention to Jel ...he'll be riding the short bus to the moon after you get it scored. Congrats Jess

[chilcotin hillbilly]

Nice Bear Jesse, it looks like a meat head to me, I not sure about going ove 21 inches. Those meat heads are decieving. Can't wait to hear the results.

[dana]

Anyone who knows anything about trophy bears knows that bear is indeed a BRUTE! Jelvis is just proving his ignorance once again. Just makes him look more the fool. Seems like he likes to play that part. I find it interesting that in this thread he is switching it up and playing the class act a$shole as well. Wonder if some of the new 'lurker' members are just Jellystoned.

Keep us posted when you get that bad boy scored officially. By far the biggest bear posted on HBC this spring.

[budismyhorse]

Why don't you guys just meet near the monkeybars after school and have it out.......JB.....don't listen or reply to the gongshow. That is one heck of a bear either way.

[greybark]

:-D Hey Jess, That RUGGGGGGG would cover an entire wall !!!!
Cheers

[Joel]

Subscribed, I wanna see if it beats the one we got this spring
Great bear you got there. Its nice to know there are still monsters out there

[d6dan]

Wow, I missed this thread, probably due to bs,,Nice Blackie Jess. I hope he scores big because he is BIG. What a pig!. Good choice of caliber Jess.. Congrats..

What a PIG! lol Great job! I saw a blackie just as big last year in the Prince George area. He was so big that I thought he was a grizzly. Didn't try shooting because I was Grizzly hunting. I have been losing sleep thinking about him ever since! Awsome bear! I'm jealous. lol:-D

I saw one three fours years back around PG as well, thought the same as you. Absolutely huge, but the moment didn't lend it's self to a shot. As far as I know he's still around. 7-07 by chance

[ramron]

Come on Jess it"s been 90 days now, lets have some news. Or are you eating crow.

[nano]

Nice bear, congrats!

[ThinAir]

If it was a booner...we'd of heard about by now.

[pearljam]

this is getting old............................................... ............:roll::roll:

[chilcotin hillbilly]

I guess there was an initial measuring mistake by about 4 inches. A friend shot a huge bear last year with a real large melon. Once the meat was of missed 19" by a hair. My largest was 20 10/16 , the next day shot a bigger bear and it was less then 19. You never know until you flesh them. I hope I am wrong but something is deffinately up.

[mntbowhunter]

I have a feeling this bear isn't nearly as big as he thought it was. Its clearly still big and it would be nice to know what is scored anyway. Maybe he is trying to avoid people jumping all over him for misjudging it?

[Slee]

Spill the beans!

[Bear Chaser]

It would be nice to hear the official score on this guy if only to satisfy morbid curiousity. If I had to guess I'd say he's right in the 20.5" range.

I still think it's a whale of a bear and he should be damn proud of it.

Anybody who would rub his nose in what might have been an honest mistake needs to get a life.

[Husky7mm]

My first bear was shot when I was a newbie. It had a 22 inch skull when the meat was off. I left it tied up in a tree for half a year then had to boil it for 6 hrs just to get the jerky off it. The teeth fell out and it cracked all over.:oops: It ended up going 20 1/2 I didnt keep the cape or measure it. It would be different today. :cry:

[srupp]

dont know why Jesse hasnt posted the score....it was a meathead...and the skull not all that big..that being said it was a GREAT SIZED BEAR..
Steven

I personally could care less about skull size. That bear was a big bear who cares if it has a small skull. Still a great bear IMO....

[urbanhermit]

a big bear is a big bear, good job putting it on the ground..

[Islandeer]

It's his trophy bear not ours, put this thing to bed. He shared lots already.

Bottom line ... huge pumpkinhead killed ... way to go Jess !!! :wink:

If a guy comes on here talking about a record book bear before he even cleans the skull and it turns out to be an average skull man up. share the story so others can learn from your mistake..... No one really cares its not as big as advertised, its still one hell of a bear!

[budismyhorse]

I think Jesse is waiting for Jelvis to get banned, go on vacation......ect ect.

he said some pretty intense stuff in this thread. Its a beauty thread.

If what SRUPP is saying is true......they will have to make up a new expression for eating crow.....Maybe "eating bear skull"??

[BlacktailStalker]

Odd he hasnt posted, big deal, it wasnt as big as he thought.
Still better than 80% of the bears I've seen this year.
It is kind of comical to make a fuss out of something in a bragging sort of way and then have to eat humble pie after though :lol:
If hes that worried about it, hes hunting for the wrong reasons.

Bears and cat skulls are anybodys guess until they're in your hand.

For how much he use to post on here, i'm guessing he has started up a new profile on here..... Too bad, would have liked to hear the story, mistakes happen, still a great bear!

[Slee]

If that makes Bones and crocket. I'm the man in the moon lol.

So jelvis does know everything! I missed this post long time ago cause he's on my ignore list, You just redeemed yourself!!!

[leadpillproductions]

As far as im concerned for me its the weight and length of the bear that means something to me

[greybark]

:-D Hey Jesse , for those with the negative remarks on here , Remind them of the head size and you are looking somewhere to stuff (pun intended) it:-D
Cheers

[greenhorn]

That's a nice bear Jesse. I don't know you, but good job bud!

Who cares how the numbers work out. You cranked a good one!

[BiG Boar]

I'd like to know what the bear ended up scoring. My biggun from may shrunk from 19.75 to 18.75 and that was without boiling. So it does shrink considerably. Yours Should still be Boone and crockett though.

[rattling_junkie]

In my opinion the hunter is a booner. B&C minimum for black bear is 21" by the way not 19".

[fourbyfour]

look up before post 20" gets you in 21" gets you All time award B.C

[rattling_junkie]

I understand that. Would you call a 160" whitetail a Booner? Most people don't and go by the 170" score. The All-Time is usually referred when discussing Boone and Crockett.

Taken from the Boone and Crockett website:

Below is a chart that lists the minimum entry scores for all the North American big game animals recognized by the Boone and Crockett Club. Trophies that meet the Awards minimum but not the All-Time minimum will be listed in the Awards book. Trophies that meet the All-Time minimum will be listed in both the Awards book, as well as "Records of North American Big Game."

yes.waiting to see the new book from B&C. i just got the 27th big game awards book from B&C .

[BigSlapper]

His silence is deafening

[lorneparker1]

i atually thought of this thread a few days ago as well!! hahaha

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

He will respond soon,he's been out bear hunting.

[chilcotin hillbilly]

Rumour has it the bear was under 19" this was from a very good source. Who knows how Jesse measured i,t i believe it was before it was skinned as even with the meat in you wll not miss 4 inches. I think we should just let this one go as it is obvious he made a large mistake. Who cares we all make mistakes, at least he wasn't asking for info that is clearly stated in the regulations. Now that makes me crazy.
