Oh snap. Where’d you get that monster? Looks like the ones my buddy sends me pics of from the Carolinas.

Thank you! It was an unbelievable experience that I highly recommend, I wish I could go back every year!

Yeah buddy! They get huge when they don’t hibernate and can eat year round. Were you able to weigh him? What did he square? You can’t post a photo of one like that with no details.

He officially weighed 581 pounds. I didn’t square him but I’ll post what his skull tapes out at when the time comes

We had fun chasing bears on berries in the fall. My boy loves it because he doesn't have to sit still like he does on a stand.


We chased this sow around a bit before I connected with my 308 and a 150 gr SST bullet. She dropped immediately. When I looked at the hike out I was glad we didn't kill a monster.

The color on that bear is awesome.

Super blonde! I just got my tooth sample back and he was 10 years old. Blew my mind with the size of him. Didn’t expect that
