NY Black Bear
« on: August 30, 2009, 09:27:00 AM »
This bear was taken on my property back in 2006 by my uncle, on left.  I had seen the bear the day before but couldn't a shot at him right after I shot my buck.  The next morning just before 8am my uincle shot him.
The bear was 4 years old and weighed 300lbs.



Here he is at the taxi shop.

I just want to say, you guys can keep those darn bears up there ROTFLMBO 

That would scare the  *poo* out of me...

Nice bear!  Is bear hunting a big deal in NY?  Trying to gauge how hardcore people are hunting them.

Nice Bear Lou!!!

 Mike I wouldn't say bear hunting in NY is big but parts of NY have alot of them. This week has been a busy week for sighting bears for me. I've seen 4 different bears this week and probly 10 total for the month.

Mike,

I'd rather deal with bears than poisonous snakes and alligators. ;D

It's a Sako chambered in .280.  Sweet gun, I'm trying to acquire it. ;D

He also owns two Husqvarna's(sp?) one is a full length stock in .243 and the other is chambered in .25-06 with standard stock.  Those are on my hit list as well. ;)

Lou,

I own three older Sakos. They are mighty fine rifles. I also have a couple HVA Carl Gustafs (which I think were made by Husqvarna). All these rifles are left-handed bolt. Nothing like a quality rifle or turkey call.

"I can tell you my stand will not be in the same area come Bow Season, as that Sow was in Yesterday... ;)"

last october it was really windy one day so I decided to stalk through a cornfield. about half way through I was waiting for a gust of wind so i could move. I hear this weird noise and then crashing through the stalks. i look there is a bear in my row and a bear in the row behind me running away from me. they must have walked up on me and i starteld them. i got out of that corn field a lot quicker then it took to get in.

Lou, we've got black bears, poisonous snakes, alligators, some big toothie wild hogs, ticks, deer flies, and skeeters the size of young turkeys. Come on down and I'll hook you up *bannana* *bannana*
