We were blessed to have harvested this GIANT boar last year which landed us in the #10 all time Pope and Young bears taken in the state. The biologist estimated 575 pounds, 42o pounds of MEAT back from the butcher. Skull Measurement of 20 4/16

Wa has started killing some giant bears in the past few years due to the no baiting laws that were put in place almost 10 years ago (this gives bears a chance to grow up). Most guys are shooting the bears either in the blueberries or along salmon streams later in the year.

We don't really know the starting weight considering we quartered him out. I was thinking he was bigger but it's hard to judge. it was similar to packing out a Roosevelt elk
