Got this 230 lbs bear on my first evening hunt. Shot him at 7 yds. He didn't go more that 30 yds.

Congrats

With the looks of his head you would think he weighed even more then that.


Thanks for all the pictures, that should keep me fixed for a few hours.

No kidding, that noggin is huge.

Nice bear! He must have been pretty lean for 230 lbs. I'm with these guys, he's got a pretty large cranium.

Congrats on the nice bear Moosehntr

The size of his head was the reason why I shot this bear. He also had a large neck and some good shoulders, but a very lean rear end. But that didn't matter!!! I'm anxious to get some measurements from his skull.

Congratulation! Wheres the story??

congrats on a VERY nice looking bear

Double congradulations

1 For the awesome 7 yard archery harvest on a blackie

2 For posting in the right section for Black bears

Congrats!

Why not a harvest forum instead of all the critter sub forums? Why is the "meat pole" in the campfire non hunting forum?
I would have found this months ago.
