I was placing current photos in my album and came across a picture of one of my biggest bears I took with my hounds. It measured 8'2" from tip of nose to base of tail. The bear weighed approximately 700+ lbs. I know because we took a bear the week before that was much smaller and weighed a certified 680 lbs. This bear would not tree and I had to shoot him on the ground. The bear was taken in the San Bernardino Mtns in southern cali.

Anyone want to share their bear photos, new or old. Sorry the picture is not the best, I took a photo of a picture from my album with my cell phone. We didn't have these smart phones back when this bear was taken...
