| Re post for Bushwalker for those who have'nt seen the story. Hi Guys, I maded a posting yesterday but for some reason it never showed up on the forum. This is to let you know that I have seen a Black Bear well over 600 pounds, the exact weight is not known due to the scales used. The Bear stood over 7 feet tall on it's hind legs., This Bear was shot at Golden Eagle Hunting Lodge between Elk Lake and Matachewan, another Black Bear was shot the same evening that weighed just over 300 pounds and it looked like dwarf beside the Big Fella. This is the 3rd Large Black Bear I've seen in 0ver 50 years in this area. The first one was in Thackeray Township, east of Matheson in 1963, this Bear was raiding the Logging Camp meat house and shot by the Bush Foreman. It weighed 648 pounds, it looked like a 45 gallon drum with legs on it. The other Large Black Bear was hit by a transport on Highway 11 near Kapuskasing in 1993 or 94. The average size Bear around here seem to run around 300 to 400 pounds with the odd exception. There has been some smaller ones as well. I have 2 photos of this Big Bear but I have forgotten how to post them. So if anyone is looking for a Black Bear Hunt - Check out Golden Eagle Hunting Lodge for Bear and Moose as well as good fishing. Take care and I'll talk to you later. | |

| Glad that one is gone. I would hate to meet him in the bush while walking or working. Congrats to the hunter. | |
