He was right around 300 pounds and 6' 2" from nose to tail. I need to pick up the skull today to score it.

Thanks for the compliments!

Well done Joe.

Way to get it done Joe. Awesome bear and great pics as well.

Thanks guys! He was bigger than I first thought. Just scored him and he will go 20 1/2 at least. Bears are funny....the one I killed last spring was a much larger animal and was only 19 3/4.

They are kinda funny. They are alot like people. My friend is about 6 inches shorter than me and he has alot fatter head than I do. Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Thanks guys! Fun stuff chasing spring bears.

great bear, congrats!

how far away was the pic you took on paws?

I spotted him from 157 yards but since I had the wind perfect and he was busy grazing I slipped into 65 yards for the pic and shot. Wish I'd had my good camera! All I had was my point and shoot and the flash kept going off so I decided I had better just kill him.
