Wow for not being a story teller you sure spin a good enough yarn to put a smile on my face. Congrats on a great bear.

Kip,That is just fantastic,I am so pumped up I can hardly stand it I leave in two days for a northern alberta Elk hunt with a couple Southern Tradgangers and my son and his friend and Dad for a Week of bugling Bulls.Looks like the Big jim was up to Snuff!LOL.

Thanks again guys  

Ken, the Buff is working out real well ...

Now I am the jealous one Steve..... Good luck buddy, pick a spot and let her R.I.P.  ....  Elk are without doubt my favorite animal to hunt ...

 

No shortage of scenery in Idaho, nice bear and great shooting.  How is the condition of the bears, at this time of the year?

Hud, this bear was in perfect shape. The coat was thick, it still had good claws. I did not look like it had done much digging. The bear had enough fat to keep my boots in good shape for the rest of my life  

Pitchur perfect! What an excellent adventure!

Kip,
Congratulations on a fine Bear.. are you doing a rug or a wall mount?
