Caught this bear as a problem bear at the dump. Dogs treed him in a smallish pine tree, I thought the tree was going to snap in half when he climbed towards the top. Had him weighed in on a cattle scale, so it should be pretty close to accurate. By far this is the biggest bear I have seen. He was wide as he was tall, definetly would of had a warm winter with all the fat he was carrying.
Yeah he was eating really well on his back was 4 to 4.5 inchs of fat. He was covered in fat and the stinkiest bear I have ever smelled must of been all the garbage that he was eating. I am sure the dump workers will be happy, they was spending a couple of hours every day picking up after the bears that would come in. This bear was only a young one his teeth didnt show much sign of wear and his skull was tiny at 18". I caught another bear tonight away from the dump and looked skinny compared to this fat boy.
Inchtown, I just talked ti Bill and he told me to search on here for this bear, what a pig nice job. I hope this little pup here can deal with a critter of that size. I said my dogs were bear dogs but I'm not sure of Hawg dogs. That thing is awsome. Keep em running and keep the Rez alive.
Yeah that pup i am getting from you will get to see tons of action when she gets old enough. I am making a name for my self as a problem animal chaser. We have had 27 trees and 33 bears total this year since around July. Probably seen 90-100 bear this year, plenty to chase for that pup.
