Wow, that thing looks huge.

I have a buddy who likes to hunt bears, and he drives from McCleary to Kitsap Co to hunt them. He tells me it is great bear country, and the best bear hunting he has found in WA state, is in the Kitsap Co. area.

"I'd prefer that the bear in Central Kitsap be trapped and relocated to the Olympic peninsula. What fish and game needs to do is the "adopt a bear program" that has been used else where in the country. Fish and game figures how much it will cost to trap a bear, and we non-hunting "dummes" contribute the money requirements."

The blog below the article is priceless.......I say we keep the bears and relocate these non-hunting dummies to the Peninsula rofl

Uncle? I know, or used to know a Darrel Durbin out in Crosby. He HAS to be related.

Very humble guy in the interview. "you don't see a bear like that in Kitsap County very often".
Shoot you don't see a bear like that anyplace very often...if ever. Thanks for putting that on here Solman. That was cool to see.

"Dennis Durbin sits on the back of the 570-pound, 8-foot tall, black bear he shot Oct. 12 between Seabeck and Silverdale. Dwarfed by the bear, Durbin is 6-feet, 7 inches tall and over 300 pounds"

A trophy black bear by anyone's measure, but the caption is a little deceiving.

No black bear ever shot "Stands Eight feet Tall".

Period.

I think the writer got the squared measurement confused.

he shot the bear about 2 miles from my house. hard to believe there was a bear out in the woods around here of that size. makes you wonder if there are anymore that size or maybe bigger ? he also has a picture of the paw next to his head. you would not believe the size of the paws.

Are you suggesting the hyde squared at 8 feet? 2'x4'?

The referenced measurement was 7 feet 2 inches in length from head to tail on the ground. I think it's fair to say the bear stood *over* 7 feet tall on it's hind legs. We're talking about a rare black bear of grizzly sized proportions.

They get that big in places. We got one that measured 7 feet 3inches on prince of whales about 4 years ago. Big SOB but I have no idea on the weight. We even found bigger tracks on the river bank that dwarfed his. Now that bear had to be something out of the ordinary(I know they have no brownies on POW but it would have had to have been a world record if it was a black)
I think the writer doesn't realize how they are measured when he stated "over eight feet".....Still amazing for one mile away from my house.

The caption said [ Quote] "8 feet tall"

I once took a black bear that squared seven foot five, he stood about six feet.

My Boone & Crockett , 10 foot 1in square Kodiak Brown Bear stands eight feet from the pads on his hind feet to the tops of his ears.

Never in history has there been a ten foot black bear killed that would essentially stand eight feet tall.

Hides are squared by a nose to tail measurement added to a clawtip tto clawtip measurement.
Those two numbers added together then divided by 2.

Hides can be manipulated, so Boone & crockett records skull sizes, (length + width).

Taking NOTHING away from the Kitsap bear, it is a toad for sure, but as you we all know these internet things have a way of running out of control.

Just keepin it real.

Squared by addition and then subtraction? Must be California math. Up here we come up with squared numbers by multiplication...lol

Thanks Sal, for keeping it real.

I am not sure where you live, but while the size of this animal is large. I believe that those of us that live in the area are equally supprised at where the animal was taken.

Its not exactly an area that I would think of as the "wild".
