[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1477105, member: 30671"] They don't grow on trees, but the biggest we got back in the day was 7'3"x7.3". In the fall 8" of fat over the ribs. Don't know how much we cut off, and tossed in the woods, but finishing the job at home I filled a 15 gallon pail with what we left. That pail was 75 lbs if I recall. Stopped a 300 grain Silvertip from an H&H-granted almost 3' of penetration, but it didn't exit. I was hoping some 6.5 user would have used some of the heavier bullets out there. The hope for another big bear, is why I've got Hammer looking at a modern 160 for me. [/QUOTE]
