EXCELLENT, What a toad!!!!

Good job Joe! What's your opinion of how spring bears taste compared to fall bears? I haddn't shot a bear in many years until last fall because I just wasn't sure what to do with it. That bear has been fantastic eating and I definitely want another bear this fall!

Thanks! I don't think there is much difference other than some spring bears have less fat to deal with. Not this guy though! He was fat and happy. Had some great stew and stir fry so far.

Thanks! That is seven in a row. Should have been nine but I was being real particular in 2009 and ended up not pulling the trigger.

Keep at it! May is when they really start to get active...

Congratulations on a great bear! I really enjoyed the video. Not to harp on the different ways others put together hunting videos, but I am glad to see one that doesn't have the eerie stalking music, or the rock music after the shot. Or whispering through the entire video. Your was perfect. Natural sounds, and it was like I was there with you. Great job all the way around.

Great bear. Couldn't ask for much more.

Great bear! It's hard to find those on public land. . . Sorry if someone already asked, how much did it way?

Thanks! I wasn't able to get a weight as I was alone and quartered him on the spot. I don't feel bad guessing he was 400 pounds. Certainly closer to 400 than 300.

Heck of a bear!

That's exactly what I would have guessed. Did you shoot him on public? It's hard to find big bear like that in the open on public land unless you can get to secluded places. I don't have a criticism, I'm just curious. It's a great bear regardless and its fun too see big ones like that put on the ground!

I shot one when I was 18, my first bear. It was 16 years old and weighed 345 lbs. One of my favorite hunting memories.

National Forest bear. Very secluded spot... I'm hunting the coastal rainforest and we are fortunate to have some dandy bears due to very heavy cover and lack of access.

Wow. Well good work finding a public land bear that big. I'm jealous!! We're going memorial day to NE Oregon so hopefully we will see something that big.
