sidwynder505 Report post Posted August 31, 2017 This last weekend my buddy's and me where up in the Pinals hunting for Bear when my buddy Big John Felix glassed up this big bear coming up the ridge!...He thought it was one of those black cows we have been seeing everywhere!..when i saw this bear coming our way i knew he was big John got his rifle ready and at 234 yards put it right in the pumper! as we got closer to the down bear he kept growing and growing!!!...no ground shrinkage here!..WOW awesome bear!..after he checked him in with the Game & Fish they said he was a giant and a older bear around 16+ years old but after they pulled the the per-moller they will get an official age!..My buddy is 6'5" inches tall and weights 320 pounds so when you look at the bear on his back!!...well you can see for your self's! ...just want to give him a shout out for his first bear!..and man what a big one!....oh the pack out was brutal!..it was hot bugs eating us up and took half a day to get the meet out and the head and skin to the truck! 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azruger Report post Posted August 31, 2017 Great bear. I have hunted that mountain all my life and the bears are there. I have seen bigger but never got the chance to put a bullet in one up there. It's a great place that's for dam sure... congrats on a monster bear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
300RUM Report post Posted September 1, 2017 The problem with shooting a big bear? You have to carry it out. It's amazing how heavy a head & hide can be. That one must have been brutal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
