Grizzly eating a dead cow

schoolhousegrizz · Jul 11, 2020

Not the best pics because it was getting dark but wanted to share these. There was a dead Angus cow out in a Meadow. I said we would stay till 9:40 and watch it. It was literally 939 and 59 seconds when I held up my binoculars for one last glance. This grizzly shot out of the Willows like a rocket and covered the 500 yards in a surprisingly short amount of time. He headed straight over to the dead cow and started eating on it. I am sure he had been eating on it all day and went and layed down in the Willows. Then he was just waiting for Darkness to go eat some more.

Yes, from a dirt road. Hopefully I can see him in the day light today

Yea. Pics are a little fuzzy. A ground blind would probably help.

Is it me, or is he as big as a friggin' house?

The first time I saw a mountain grizzly in BC my jaw hit my boots!
At 600 yds, he looked like a giant ball of fur! A bit intimidating!

I have seen many grizzlies and he looked like a good one to me.

So you are telling me that there are scary things in the dark!

I think he is about as big as they get for these parts. He would have to be getting close to that number.

Is that East of Henry's Lake?

He'll be back there a bunch. Soon enough he'll have holes all over with chunks of it buried and rotting everywhere around there so he can pick the maggots. That area will stink like death til next spring

He's a big bear, but I don't think he's anywhere near 800 lbs. I did see one two weeks ago north of Cody that I thought was a beef cow bull at first. Tried to spin my cam from filming bull elk back the other way, but he slipped over a ridge before I got it on him. Needless to say he was following two cow elk and a calf down into the canyon with the 40 bulls we were filming and are planning to hunt come the first of Sept. Going to be an interesting year to say the least

Cheers, Pete

1 Big A$$ Grizz!!!

Ropinfool · Jul 27, 2020

I've never seen a grizz, just figured a full grown cow will go 1200+ and he didn't look much smaller.

There was a grizzly in that same area that was killed in 2001. It was hit by a car in the middle of May. That bear weighed 671 pounds. By October that bear I'm sure would have been 800 pounds. This is a big Grizzly I don't know how much he weighs but I don't think they get a whole lot bigger than he is
