I shot this bear in 2003, but just got the mount back last week. I am on the left in the first pic. I shot it in June 2003 with my 30-06. My uncle is to my right in the pic. He shot his bear with a bow. Both bears are chocolate coloured and they were shot about 10-15 minutes apart at baits 3/4 of a mile apart. My bear weighed 418 lbs and my uncle's weighed 392 lbs. Skull scores were 20 11/16 and 20 4/16 respectively.
Here's a pic of my mount. It takes up a lot of space but i like the way it turned out. I doubt I will ever get lucky enough to get one this size again, so I wanted to get it done in a full mount.
Nice lookin bear on the ground but cant see the mount pics... congrats.!

Sorry that the mount pic didn't work the first time. I am going to try it again with this reply. I tried editing the other reply, but it won't work. Hope it works this time.
got pictures?
Althogh mine was dark black and I shot it in north central Pa.
