Nice bear, I wish I could get out for the spring, but I think I have no choice but to wait for fall

thanks for the comments, Im super happy with the hide condition. I've heard that younger bears grow longer hair for hibernation then larger bears to compensate for less body fat.

Great bear, great photos, Thanks for sharing! I remember my first bear shot thirty years ago like it was last spring. Always regreted not having any pictures of him so glad to see you didnt make the same mistake I did. Your rug will make a great trophy for years to come. Congratulations!

6 shots, 6 hits @ 250yards on a moving small bear with a 4x scope.
You should have entered the postal match.
Better shot than I am.
