RE: 2005 Bear contest signup
OK sounds like the rules are pretty simple so I'll write out what I think and you guys can add or offer suggestions.
1. As stated earlier any bear taken from 1/1/05 to 12/31/05 counts
2. Person with the heaviest dressed weight wins
3. Archery or rifle count
4. Black bear only
5. Must have a pic of you with the bear posted to be entered. (a scoring thread will be started for this purpose)
ummmm...that's all I can think of for now.
oh yea...is there any way this could get pinned to the top so it doesn't get lost? If not no big deal. Thanks.

Hey bearklr. I was just wondering about the dressed weight. We just cut the front and hind quarters and backstraps off our bears. My uncle is an outfitter and we skin and weightthe bears at his place, andhe can get in huge trouble for posessingbear gall bladders. So we don't usually open them up.Just wondering if I could just subtract a certain % of the weight from my bear. (IF i even get one!) Ormac

If you weigh the entire bear in tact I beleive that the dressed weight would be roughly 15% less. This is what a game commission officer told me anyway so if you do happen to get one and weigh it before it's gutted we'll just subtract 15%.
for example: If you weigh an intact bear and he tips the scales at 400 lbs then we would subtract 15% or 60 lbs thus making the official weight 340 lbs. Does anyone have a problem with this method or any better ideas.
