Alberta's Record Archery Grizzly Bear
Here is a picture of my Dad's Grizz he shot with his recurve back in 1981. The skull measured 23 7/16. It only took one arrow.

Recurve, when you say Alberta's record archery grizzly do you mean the biggest taken?

Dad shot him some where around the Kakwa south west of Grande Prairie. He was on the ground and shot him at 13 yards. He had patterned him for 33 days before getting his chance. The grizz walked by him, and he got a quartering away shot.

Here are a few more pics of Dad's grizz along with a few others. The sheep was taken in wmu 410, the muley and goat were taken west by Pincher Creek some where. He shot all of them with his recurve.

Very cool! Your dad looks like a successful bowhunter. Probably arrowing critters, when guys didn't believe you could kill critters with arrows.

actually when bowhunting, bambi will resort to the redneck hillbilly attire......even had it on the other night. 
that guy had to have been considered a true rebel to be that much of an archery fanatic in them days. super cool pics.

J,
Thanks for posting the pics man. I still remember that bear rug being pretty freaky on the wall! I wish I would have gotten to talk more to your Dad about hunting before he passed.
Your doing him proud by carrying on the hunting tradition, good luck on your ram this fall.
