Well last night folded my first black bear tag seen 17 bears last two weeks spotted my bear on a pipeline a short stalk and shot at 70 yards the 7mm 160 tsx bear didn't even move. Weighed truck with bear in it at scales then weighed after I had it at taxidermist it was 348 pounds lighter plus minus fuel and rifles and gear I measured at 6'8 taxidermist said 6'6 I'm pretty happy old boar
