I shot my first black bear at 250 yards with a .270 win in may. It squares 5 feet. I picked it up from the taxidermist dec 14th and the skull is still being worked on. Heres some before and after pics..

Thanks, I never did weigh it but the hide squared 5 feet. Im guessing the age to be around 3 years, it was a spring bear so there wasn't much for fat on him.

Thanks, I shot it near Rocky MT. Alberta on a self guided hunt, but theres lots of outfitters in the northern part of the province if you wanted to go with a guide.
