Adjam5 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) My pal Chad, who just got back from that great big sandbox in Iraq, after his 2nd tour with the Army got to get back home and wack a giant of a bear. It was approx 442 lbs and the skull green scored some where in the 16-17" range! This is him fishing in one of Saddam's ponds at the Palace I am extremely happy that my friend made it home safely and was able to get on some good deer and bear while he came home to NY. He is down at Fort Stewart,GA doing his last few months in the military. He even stopped here on his way up to his Moms WAY up in NY, in good ole Rockland county and bowhunted a morning with us here. Good to see him and glad to call him my friend:) Thought I'd share his success. Edited November 25, 2008 by Adjam5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
