Thats pretty neat whitetail, a guy don't see 4 cubs with a sow just too often. Last year I seen the biggest sow I've ever seen (400+) that had 4 cubs, both were a 1st for me. I seen her a month before season opened up by my dads place in Northern Minnesota. Are you from Canada?

Yes I live in Manitoba. In a small town called St-Malo. It's about a 1/2 hour north of the border.

I figured that! You guys really have allot of bear up there. Maybe some day I'll get up that way and do some bear hunting some time. Bear hunting is my passion, I really love doing it!

Thats a monster bear no dought!! The biggest tracks I've ever found where I bear hunt were 6 1/2 and 6 1/4. These had to be unbelievable bear!! They were perfect tracks with every detail of the front paw, I should of taken a picture! I think anything 4 3/4 and over is one hell of a bear. We don't have a spring season here in Mn.

He looks to be in that 180lb range right now, by fall he should be around 240lbs I bet
Awesome !!

They put on that much wieght, that quickly ?? I mean, I know they "fatten up" for hibernation...but 60lbs in 4 or 5 months ?
Not a dought in my mind unless the berry crop and other vegetation is terrible otherwise they'll put it on with out a problem. The last month or so before they hibernate they really rack up the pounds getting ready for hibernation.
