Awesome video and great bear, Biggie  :thumbsup:   Glad you got the best of him rather than him getting the best of you!

Well, good.  Biggie, mabe now you will change your avatar so we don't have to avert our eyes when you post.

I've had bears do that before, and it makes you pretty wired.
So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

He was less than 10 yards a few times there. Close enough that even Marty coulda hit him with an arrow somewhere.

Honestly, once the guide jacked a shell into the shotgun and clicked off the safety, I knew we were in no real danger but still, it will make you a bit nervous.......I just hoped he wouldn't have to shoot the bear. Woulda been a big waste of a beautiful critter.

congrats on the bear, I'll have to take a look at the vid on the home computer. I also have to agree with marty on the donuts or maybe a hamsamich.

Hey biggie, was mike there and did ya catch any of those 50+ inch northerns?

Kevin, JIll wasn't able to pack it out, she had to carry all the camera gear, my stand, my bow and fanny pack. Luckily the guide was along or she would have had to make two trips and I was tired and wanted to get back to camp...

Brian, Mike and Judy took a day off and did a fly out with us. Great fishing there but no 50" the 1st week. We did catch 40-60 fish a day though :-)

Biggie,any chance the bear you shot was a sow??(in heat ??) We have had a couple bears act like that and both time they were boars trying to get to the sows we had just harvested . Sure does make the hairs straighten out and stand up!! ( ALL HAIRS !!!). Bill

Bill wins the prize!

We actually have footage of him mounting my bear a few days before.
I wasn't gonna shoot the sow but her head looked HUGE and I couldn't help it....
Green score is 18&7/8" I coulda swore she was 20.....

While the boar was a beautiful color phase, I don't think he was as big headed as the sow. But as far off as I was on the sow, I'm afraid to guess :-)
But I will anyway.....17"
