Default 12 yr old niece's bear
I gotta brag a little bit about this one. My niece turned 12 2 weeks ago and this was her first hunting trip. My brother had been applying for a Wisconsin bear tag for 6 years, drew one this year and transfered it to our niece. I think that is one of the greatest programsWisconsin ever started.
My dad had pictures of bears coming in all day every day.So, they decided to get in the stand at 6:30am yesterday morning, opening day. At 6:45 the first bear showed up, 200lb +. My brother told her that she could shoot it and be back to school at 11:00, she decided to pass, lol.
She was waiting for this one, the 8th bear they saw that day, because it has a white V on its chest. She made a perfect quartering away shot at 4:50 and it only ran 15 yards.The bear weighed 260 lbs.

Needless to say, this is one happy girl!!

CONGRATULATIONS LAURA!!!!

She was going to use a muzzleloader, but decided to shoot the .30-06 instead.

Give the girl a pat on the back from all of us for a job well done.

So what's it gonna be, full body mount or a bear skin rug?
