Comparing them side by side like that, that must be about a 400# bear.....

HA! I know i'm incognito with the bandanna and all, but I forgot my hat...good thing too as it never gets dark there and the bandanna doubles as a great blindfold!

Barb and I have been back for just a few short hours so I will let things settle down here for a bit and then elaborate more on the Bear wrestling story  :)

I bet the bear walked out of the woods and saw Jim and just went ahead and keeled over.   :biglaugh:

Maybe Jim needs to practice some of those technique to make game look bigger like sit back about 10"   :biglaugh:

Congrats Big Jim!

My wife Sharen looked at the picture and said, "That's not a very big bear."  Then I reminded her of meeting Jim at Compton's and she's revised her opinion of the bear!  Congratulations Jim.
