The worst I get here are rabbits and a big raccoonNo hogs around here unless were discussing a different type hog. Got some big black bears that wallow into my yard now and then.
Damn that's a big one! Do you know how much it weighed??My son got this one last year. View attachment 40431
Wow looks like twins almost!Sorry, let me get back on track . Twinning at the gym today! View attachment 40432
Yeah taxidermist said it was around 250 lbs. and between 8 and 13 years old. My son in the picture is 6’ 165 lbs in that picture just for reference. Someone got one around 600 lbs around the same time my son got this one. The bear population here is steadily growing.That bear is just a little guy compared to the brutes that live around here. I guess it's all that trash, and bird seed that makes them 500 pounders. They need not work too hard to find it. I wish the state would have a hunting season on them. You'd see some records.
Oh...my bad...I thought that was a feral hog. After taking a second look I see it's a bear.Yeah taxidermist said it was around 250 lbs. and between 8 and 13 years old.

A 250 lb male black bear here is roughly 3-4 years old. That would be a lot younger than 8-13 years unless a female, or for some reason they don't have much of a food source that they stay that small.Yeah taxidermist said it was around 250 lbs. and between 8 and 13 years old.

It was a female. From what I hear this is a pretty average size for a female around here. Here is his shoulder mount of it.A 250 lb male black bear here is roughly 3-4 years old.

JDub I don't know how to crop and save a picture on computers but the decal your son has on the rear window of his pickup truck says it all. Thank you for raising a true conservative. Looks and acts like a great young man.My son got this one last year. View attachment 40431
Damn you're right TexasBigBlue! I didn't notice that decal until I blew that picture way up so I could read it, man that's pretty good!JDub I don't know how to crop and save a picture on computers but the decal your son has on the rear window of his pickup truck says it all.

He really is a great kid. My daughter is too! Are you on Facebook?JDub I don't know how to crop and save a picture on computers but the decal your son has on the rear window of his pickup truck says it all. Thank you for raising a true conservative. Looks and acts like a great young man.
I guess that explains the big hole in it. Thats a decent size for a female black bear. I've estimated the one that comes here every few days with her cubs to be around 300 or so..308
Gotta get me one of them decals....I'd probably have Joe's fbi on my case for sure.Damn you're right TexasBigBlue! I didn't notice that decal until I blew that picture way up so I could read it, man that's pretty good!
