Mt^Boy a mighty fine bear!!! Congrats, I hope you understand my confusion over the initial post. We do have a bear season here in Va. and to be honest I had sworn I would never shoot one because they taste nasty! Well ABM proved me dead wrong, he shared some bear sausage with us that was so good my wife told me that if I ever get a chance to kill one do it! Great story BTW now that the whole thing is here!
