Here's a bear I saw in the second cut of the morning at about 4000ft elev. It was a short day hunt that ended around 8am The weekend before not seeing anything it was okay with me to see him so quickly. He was feeding along a tree line about 150 yards away and presented a broadside shot with a single 300WM. He was 6' skinned out nose to tail without a stretch, so most likely was a live 5'1/2. Buried the skull for a year, meat to the butcher, and skin to the taxi for a rug. A good day full of work with only a few cuts! thanks for reading.

Nice work! I'm sure he'll make a nice looking rug!

Well done that's a nice bear!

Good bear, nice spring fur, and some delicious eating. Congrats.

I see a bear pot roast with taters, onions and carrots in your future. Spring bear can be some very tasty vittles.

Congrats on the nice bear.

BC, this probably isn't your first rodeo, but I burried a bear skull a long while back and the bone got soft. I boil skulls now with some dishwashing detergent. Nice bear.
