Don't know Josh, but guessed him at over 300 pounds, probably eight to twelve years old and 19 1/2" +/- score. He fought my dogs under the first tree and would not climb, then decided to run after we arrived. The second tree was larger diameter and again, he was at the base of the tree chasing dogs off him when we arrived.
I walked my two five month old pups into the bayup and neither of those two dogs has been fired. I'll bet they wondered, "what in the hell is this" when they got tot he bear fight. I ran them down a bear track Sunday and they went about 3.5 miles until the track splashed out onto the road. I helped the dogs find when the bear left and got them started again, one pup just went to the creek bottom and came back and the other went off up the hill and came back in about a half hour, and I'm glad he did cause I pulled those dogs ten miles later in the heat of the day going into roadless country. Guess I'm getting weak hearted (or weak kneed) cause if those dogs haven't jumped the bear in thirteen miles and five hours of cold trailing, and it's hot and dry like it is, I don't care to continue..............glad I don't live further south!
