Hi Karl!
I've lived on a ranch for my entire life, and hunted for just as long. Weight estimation comes naturally after a while, but they are ball park figures. The size of the animal is what got me.
I am pretty sure we were looking at the same thing,as it was the only animal on the rock bluff. and of course, Ed did saw it before I did, and it took me a couple of seconds to find what he was talking about.
As for the bear picture....well, maybe it was a bear!:) biggest one I've ever seen.
thanks for the insight. |

Where and who taught you to shoot bears at a thousand yards ben?
That's fancy shooting that requires alot of trained skill,and regular practice. Not impossible by any means but something that requires more than the average shooter to do. Sounds like your pretty good.You would have to be to dope the wind and calculate for bullet drop across uneven elevations.
goon-in my expert opinion. |

Agreed. There are a lot of factors that come into play when shooting at somthing that far away,which is why I wont... Unless everyhing is perfect,which rarely happens. Retrieving a wounded bear does not sound fun to me. |
