Is that a big bear for there. I have had 1 in my feeder this year over 400lbs. Same size in my feeder at lease. Too many for my taste.

There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that

They are average size bears for PA. Our crew has killed bears up to 600lbs. They are not common, but we usually get one in the 300-400lb. range every year.

Congrats to you and your son on two fine bears. I haven't eaten Bear since I was the age of your boy, so don't remember what it tasted like. Curious on how they clean out on the cuts of meat.
