Back in the early 80's, A friend of mine had been planing a spring Bear hunting trip in Canada, and I had told him several times that I could not stress how important it was to pick something out around the bait, that he could compair the size of the Bear to, because it was hard to judge the size of them. Well, He goes on his trip, and gets a Bear, Comes back and show's me a picture of it. He was standing to the side and slightly behind the Bear in the picture with his arm stretched out as tho he was leaning up against it. I say, man that's a nice Bear, what did it weigh? all's he would say is, that is was not as big as it looked!! Months went by, and one day he called and asked if I'de like to ride to the Taxidermist place, and pick his Bear up with him. Well we walk in the shop, and the first thing I notice is a very small Bear skin Rug on the wall, And I think to myself that's a Boo Booo! He pay's his bill, and the Taxidermist walk's over to Boo Booo takes it off the wall, and hand's it to my friend !! By the time we got to the car, I wanted to laugh so bad my face was getting sore. I made it about 5 miles down the road when I say Hay Man, He say's ya, I say, Did that Bear have a Teet in it's mouth when you shot it? Well we bouth started laughing so hard he had to pull over, then he told me he should have paid more attenchion to judging the size of them because that one weighed a whole 83lb field dressed, and the Guide had him stand about 6 feet behind the bear with his arm out as if he was touching it, for the picture!! Now Old Chuck is Quite a way's back in his picture, but no doubt about it, that Bear is Huge!! Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive that Bear beat out Fred Bear's long standing World record, Only to be knocked out either befor that scoreing period took place or the next scoreing period, I think it's still #2 or 3in the world!!
