I live in the Okanagan and have been bear hunting a few times and even whacked a small one with my bow a few years ago. He was only 15 yards away and looked pissed at me so I took the shot. Anyway it was close and fast and I ended up with a 4 ft bear. He was tasty though.
I was wondering how to judge the size of a live bear. My daughter and I saw a nice Brown color one last weekend and we both couldnt agree on about how big he was. He was on the road as we turned the corner , and bolted as soon as he heard the truck . All we could agree on , was he looked like a big brown "ball" as he barrelled off the road into the bush. Didnt think of stopping to look at the track size and figured he wasnt going to be stopping anytime soon. So on we went.
Also , how big would the average bear get around Kelowna and area anyway? I realize that they get bigger elsewhere, like on the coast.
thanks
