I really new at bear hunting so I'm guessing it's a big sow but what do you think?
(I hope I get the real answer next time I'm on the stand....)

Thanks

That's one fat bastid .OMG like all he can do to walk a few steps before needing a rest. not sure on the sex but will guess male and as for weight likely on the plus side of 380. Good luck with that bear . You gonna use the 45-70 ?
Yes! It's my first year hunting bear so I loaded up a custom medicine for this fella...Quote:

Friggin hilarious! my wife got a kick out of those vids... that is one fat bastard
Needs to go on a diet!
Best of luck with him/her.....
im no expert...far from it. but small feet means sow and for a brute that size those are small feet. I alos believe that the females tend to have a flatter forehead. i could be worng but like i said earlier i say sow all thee way. look forward to other responses and opinions
I am kind of worry about the weight but I'll still take it.Quote:

From every information I found online, it does look like a sow. Hope to find out soon enough....Quote:

Or it might not fit in the den....
Wow, what a fine looking specimen! Couldn't tell you if its a boar or sow, but man what a hawg!!! I guess if you are looking for an eater bear perhaps a smaller younger boar would do better than this ol' fat boy. Cool vids man.
Big bear!
Sows hardly ever go over 300 pounds,good luck and hunt the wind in order to be successful.
I am not a bear hunter, but find it very fascinating that a wild animal would get that fat... most wild animals are usually one or two missed meals away from starvation...
I try, this stand is only a North or North-West wind but it's close from a ridge so it swirl a little. I setup that stand for hunting deer with a xbow so I feel like I'm too close from the bait for pile, 25 yards. I'm going to have to rethink the all setup if I really want to go after bear next year.Quote:

My gun stand is only 30 yards ,and Thursday and Saturday the wind is right but are off days for baiting. If it doesn't work out for tomorrow I'll bait Later Sat. Then hunt.
What a pig. It's so porky you'd almost think it was a dump bear. You could get gallons of bear oil out of that blob. Good luck
As for the hunt part, 25 or 35 or 45 yards won't make any difference if the wind is wrong. And if you're actually going to target a brute that size you better be totally prepared beforehand with equipment and extra bodies like Greenhorn said. Imagine if it ran 100 yds into dense wet crap before dying and you had to get it out. You can't just drag a sac of goo that big hehe. Or pick it up and throw it on the back of a quad. Even with three guys.
Here's a good tip on a cheap, very handy, and almost bulletproof homemade "rig". Take the hood from a small car or wee truck and use it as a sled. Make holes as required to accommodate ratchet straps and tow points and you can strap bear or deer down tight. Rocks or even soft areas don't matter much. Works well late season in the snow too. Even for hauling out barrels or supplies, stands or whatever, any season. Atvs do help though lol
If you look at my avatar pic you can make out part of a hood on the ground behind my big girl. You can see the winch mounted to the hood, and then used a smaller 12v battery stashed with it in the bush. We had a small three wheeler and two guys to help pull/steer after I made the call. One last hill we couldn't make it and had to use the winch. After that is was flat pull to the owners house and then celebration and gutting and dressing and hanging.
Anyway, it turned out to be one of those rare times where every thing just came together that day. You never know right, that's part of why we hunt.
One last thing. You may be fresh as hell, but if you have an opportunity to kill a bear that big, you should take it, because you may never get such a chance again.
Cheers
Chainsaw, chains and tractor would be the plan but first I have to get it on the ground, far from been done!Quote:

Thanks for the advice about the sled/hood though it might get handy, there are a few laying around in that same property. I guy a know pretty well as one of those for sell, Portable Winch, I think he wants around 800$ for it. I always thought it would be a good thing to have....
