Monster bear

[bowhunter]

Did anyone hear about a huge bear being shot in Orange county?

Do you mean recently like from a car accident? Or a while back during season?  I know that a guy shot a MONSTER bear in Sullivan Co. not this past but November 2009. New state record I believe, they had the mount up at the NY Big Buck Club dinner.

That guy lives right by me. I'm looking him up to see if I can check out the mount, must be huge!

Cool story NYO.  What a hog of a bruin.  Love to cork one like that........

Yeah it is a monster. Saw it in the back of his pick-up and it filled the bed up nicely. He did the mount over at the place in Oakdale on Sunrise Hwy I think, said he was going to build a small extension or enclose and area of the room to make a "cave" to set the mount into. Sounded like pretty sweet of an idea.
