Big Lead,
Congrats! Thats a nice bear. I see that you are from Cottage Grove. Where did you get him at. When I was a kid we ran a lot of bear with hounds when it was still legal between Dorena Lake and Oakridge. We also hunted out of Alsea around Lobster Valley and Five Rivers. That first bear kill is a rush I got my first 20 years ago when I was 17, but it was a lot smaller than yours.

Again Congratulation
