Congrats Ryan,

So what do you do with a bear like that once he is in the bag?  Stuff him?  Make a rug or a wall hanging?  How do they do as Bear skin robes?

As far as weight....I am horrible at estimating. I'd safely say 300 lbs or slightly a bit more. He isn't overly tall or long making his thickness look even more than it would on a bear with longer dimensions. I can accurately say that he is the biggest 19"er I've ever seen...EVER! He scores 19 3/16 and that was a shock that he scored so little. I've been fortunate enough to kill 3 bears over 21"s and a few more in the 20's and this guy does not fit the typical mold.

Honestly though....the score thing is a "nice to know" thing for me but doesn't matter to me like it once did. Thanks again everyone....Ryan

Can we see some pic's of the 21"er's please
