One of the toughest animals in the wild to judge size and just like the proverbial 21" smallie, almost ALWAYS over-estimated. Every bear looks big and scary. LOL! Yes, I noticed that also. I see it more as the size of the nuisance is not necessarily correlated to the size of the bear! |

Anyway, bear season just 6 weeks off so keep the bear reports coming! I still haven't finalized my spot. |
