Trapstickman has always been impressed with the size of some of these bears.

Bucks area has some terrific bears and he can well tell the size of said animals. When Bucks says “ he sure has a big “ you better be ready to tickle the trigger.

That eastern US area has a very good genetic for big bears, all the bears I have taken and seen taken in the western states have been smaller tho aged the same. Blacks that is.

I have a bunch of pics from last year in my area here I will see if I can get them to post this evening.

Checked on him yesterday, he moved on.
I walked out to the den to take a pic but it's completely flooded.

That was in MN? You don't see that much around here. You'll catch them in the open once in a while during mating season but other than that, they stick to cover. How big was the bear?

Didn't weigh him. Was a hot day and we had to get him skinned and butchered up.
I'd imagine welll north of 600# but we don't get many that big so hard to compare " guess".

He did bend my trucks receiver hitch, cargo carrier though laugh
