Now let's hear the story... ETA: upon further review...are you SURE that bear was only 340? I have a considerable resume bear hunting and me thinks your scale is off... |

Pretty hard to argue with the scale, unless the pivot points were rusty. It looks like a 7 foot bear to me...I assume you at around 6 feet, and the whole hanging carcass just looks bigger...not to mention the paw. But hey either way that's a really good lookin bear...much larger than anything I ever bagged here in Wi congrats.

I'm about 5 11 and the bear is probably 6 inches off the ground. He's big, but not that big . Still I couldn't have been happier with such a fine animal . Got him on the 6th day of a 6 day hunt. Passed up 5 smaller bears to get him. I wanted big or go home empty handed. It was worth the wait |
