 I FINALLY GOT MY BEAR MOUNT BACK RECENTLY!!! I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH IT. THIS IS MY MOST PRIZED TROPHY. I TOOK THIS BEAR WITH MY PSE BOW AT ONLY 12 YARDS. THE CHECK STATION SCALES MAXED OUT AT 430 POUNDS; MY TAXIDERMIST SAID IT PROBABLY WEIGHED AROUND 550 POUNDS. I GUESS I'LL NEVER KNOW EXACTLY. HE STANDS 6 FEET 9 INCHES TALL AND WITH THE BASE HE IS STANDING ON HE IS OVER 7 FEET TALL. |

GOB FATHER, I TOOK THIS BEAR WITH MY PSE BOW AT 12 YARDS IN WISE COUNTY, VIRGINIA WHICH IS IN FAR SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA ON THE KENTUCKY BOARDER. HERE IN WISE COUNTY WE DONT HAVE A GREAT ABUNDANCE OF BIG GAME BUT WE DO HAVE A WIDE VARIETY: WHITETAIL, ELK, BEAR, TURKEY, AND WILD BOAR. SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE!!! (ELK ARE CONSIDERED THE SAME AS WHITETAIL IN VIRGINIA AS FAR AS TAGGING REQUIREMENTS)

I truly think someone is pulling your leg on this bears weight...it's a nice looking bear but I don't see it weighing the 550lbs??? It takes an awful BIG bear to break the 500lb. mark and I just don't see this bear doing that. There's a post a couple pages back and the guy's bear weighed 286lbs. and it's as big as this one....

  HERE ARE SOME MORE PHOTOS THAT BETTER SHOW THE SIZE OF THIS BEAR. I KNOW HIS WEIGHT WAS OVER 430 LBS. BECAUSE AT THE OFFICIAL WEIGHT STATION HE MAXED OUT THE SCALES THAT THEY PICKED HIM UP ON WITH A FORK LIFT. THE SECOND PICTURE I HAVE I FOUND OUT WAS HIM BECAUSE OF THE TAG IN HIS EAR. IT IS A KENTUCKY TAG AND THE BEAR I TOOK HAD A KENTUCKY TAG . (AND I AM IN VIRGINIA AND I TOOK THE BEAR ABOUT 1/4 MILE FROM THE ALIVE PHOTO ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER .) |
