We got this bear last sat and figured it would be a good one to start with. He measured out from nose to tail at 6 foot and a 5 3/4 pad. Wasnt able to weigh it but figured it would weigh in the threes.
For around here this is a pretty good bear. This was a pretty exciting chase, we was able to get in front of the dogs and this one came out of the bushes in front of use so I shot him. When we walked in and found the bear it was still alive but all sprawled out, when I got in there to shoot it again he charged. I shot him three more times with our AR and dropped him 4 to 5 feet in front of me!!! Must of been another bear in there too because the dogs ripped off and the chase was on again.
