I don't see a cub in the pic? But there is a family of 4 we saw last weekend.

Enlarge pic # 2. It definitely looks like another bear in the bottom right hand corner, where the hip of the main bear is. Am I seeing things? lol

I would put it in the 200-250 range. especially is that is a cub with it. Getting a female to tip the scale at 300 is a big female.Seeing the one I shot on Saturday running and then giong over....I thought it would be a damn near new state record...lol. Looked like someone driving a black 3/4 ton Ford F150 through the woods

Daddy is around somewhere, I had a pic of him on here a while back... He is a beast.

Found it..

That head tapering up to the shouulders and not getting smaller behind the head is a good indicator. having no ankles (kankles...lol) is too. 3' high at back and not much room under belly, small round ears in relation to the head. And if you have all that time to check those things before you shoot.....you are a beter man than I...lol

Will black bears go after the cubs and kill them so they can mate with the sow? The big bear I had last weekend was on the sow and three cubs scent.

Momma and cubs were hauling ass through the woods.

I would sooner bet he was smelling food scent on hder feet. But i hae heard stories of them eating cubs. Their mating season is June/July

      MAKING US LOOK SUB-HUMAN
      By CapDistPatriot
      I couldn't even watch the video. Just pisses me off that A.) Some "people" do think this is acceptable behavior, and B.) The humane society feels the need to smear all who partake in our great sport by releasing the video. I mean, they didn't just get this from a leak, they actually took the time to file a FOIA request.
      I have some sympathy for someone who poaches a deer here and there because he cannot afford food from the grocery store (out where I grew up it was quite common) and needs to feed his family, but these @$$holes are just killing for sport. Complete disrespect for the lives of the creatures God created for us.

      Big Game Hunting Opportunities in Ontario, CA
      By Padre86
      I'm looking at the big game hunting opportunities in Ontario, CA.  According to the province's regulations, non-residents (with some exceptions) have to hunt bear and moose with a licensed guide.  So, unguided, DIY hunts (at least for bear and moose) aren't feasible up there.
       
      I've looked through a few different guiding websites to get a baseline for the prices that are charged: $3.5k-$6k per person for Moose hunts (depending on the level of guide services); and $2.5k-$3.5k for black bear hunts (again depending on the level of guide services).
       
      My question: are there any guides/outfitters which offer minimal services, and cheap fees, for hunting these animals?  For example, is there an outfitter which takes on a non-resident hunter as registered guest but allows him/her to hunt DIY for a cheaper rate than what is mentioned above?

      Bear Calling in the Northern Zone
      By Padre86
      Anyone here ever tried calling for black bear in the northern zone of NY (mostly referring to Tug Hill and the ADK's)?
       
      I've heard that in certain areas which have similar vegetation and terrain to NY (western Oregon and Washington) calling black bear is a tactic used by some hunters, as traditional spot-and-stalk hunts aren't really feasible and baiting and hounding aren't allowed.
       
      I was thinking of trying some calling this coming fall.  I'd be interested in talking to anyone else who has tried this method.

      Big Bear
      By NFA-ADK
      Large bear taken in Sterling forest.  I heard the DEC said he had to have it out the next day so the hunter gave it to the DEC, this is here say...  
      Not sure if the hunter wants to be identified so I cut his face out.  Supposedly just under 800lbs!!!  Waiting for more pics.
