Hey guys,

I really enjoyed that video, congratulations to your son and you as well. That is a dandy bear, and to finally get it after 4 years must be truly satisfying. Well done.

Thanks for the comments guys! Waiting for the taxidermist to get skull back to us for head measurement. The hide squared 7'2. Not sure about weight but I'm sure it was 450+.

Honestly I've been away from hunting video's lately. Seems like everyone and their dog is trying to make a go at video's and being a sponsored hunter and most have more advertising for junk than actual content.

Although I didn't watch the whole video, the parts I did watch were great and to the point. Seems like you guys have a real passion for the sport.

Beautiful bear and nice video.

Great Bear and a well done video. Congratulations to both of you.

For those that don't know, there is a setting you can turn on that will put sub-titles on the video. Not a perfect rendition of what is said but it helps with some of the whispered audio. Lower right corner of the screen when the video is playing, click on the lumpy wheel, choose English sub-titles.
