[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 820676, member: 34924"] Here is a brown bear (black bear) I shot in the fall of 2006. I don't know how to officially measure a bear but mine measures 81 1/2" nose to tip of tail and 47 3/4" wide. I never got a weight for him because we had to get him off the mountain and onto some ice because it was hotter then hell that day. I ended up almost losing the hide and did lose the meet due to the FWP taking forever to tag him before we could get him into the taxidermist to get skinned out. I can't remember what the skull measured but the taxidermist was impressed with the size of the bear and skull measurement when he told me. The bear was 8 or 9 yrs old. He was shot high shoulder with a 338 win mag pushing a Barnes TSX 225gr pill at about 300 yards [ATTACH]22922.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
