Went on a guided hunt near Tok, had to fish him out of a beaver pond, so it looks a little wet. Said it went 6'.

I love a good hunt photo....

What did the skull size turn out like?

I think it was just a hair over 18", nice bear for the interior.

Here is a pick of them getting ready to pack it out.

What am I looking at here?

Looks like a baboon to me, the hunter might go 6 feet...?

Oh, second picture just got posted... I'm sorry, but again a really weird picture with the pack obscuring details.... ??

They do look funny when they're wet...

I thought the face looked like a baboon too!!

That top picture looks like no Black Bear I've ever seen wet, dry or from any angle. Eyes are awfully close together and the snout isn't very bear like neither are the paws and claws, they look more like fingernails as a baboon would have and i think I see thumbs.
Ketchikan please check your photos and tell me that top picture is a baboon.
Bottom picture looks like a small black bear that is about to be packed out whole!
Come on Ketchikan tell us what's up.!

Nice bobo in the first photo, but definitly not booboo!

Ketchikan...Buddy got a nice bear.

I think 'Buddy' is pulling your leg.

Saeed was right.

That be a primate in pic 1; baboon, if I were to wager a dollar against a donut. As to pic 2, it looks like N/A, considering the conifer and other flora, but decipering what's lying there is anyone's guess. Mine's large racoon, caught while playing in the coal bin...

No, I'm willing to wager the second one is a bear, but not a 6' one.

That's bizzare! I would have bet money the animal in the first pic was a baboon.

LMFAO

If that was really shot near Tok then someone is pissed that their baboon got wacked....and the guide needs slapped upside the head. The bottom picture looks like a little black bear to me.......again, if that was shot near Tok on a guided hun the guide would get a tip.....$0.05

These are a little scary too.

Wow! He even had time to change into camo clothing between primates and bears!!!!

Hey Paul, who put you up to this one? Steel head has to be involved some how? Whats really funny is guys who are seriously analyzing the pics like they arent sure its not a bear, kind of scary!!!!

In Tok you see a lot of Babears.

Kinda late for April Fools.

Nice monkey.What part of africa were you hunting?

I'm 100 miles from Tok and it doesn't get that dark around here for another month or so.
Bears and darkness don't mix too much in the interior.

Looks like no bear I've seen around here.

buddy ought to post the name of the guide that told him that was a six foot bear. a six foot bear will look like a fifty gallon drum with legs and ears,and will weigh accordingly. you wont be stuffing it whole even in a barneys 7000 cube pack.

It looks funny aand it looks small. Details, please.

Nice bear. Not the garden variety blackie, I like 'em with a little character...a little different look.

I talked to the guide a little, and he said it's the 3rd 'odd' looking one to come out of the same valley in the last two years.

Hope the mount turns out well. Tell your buddy congrats...
