Not sure how I missed this one.  Great bear and write up.  Thanks for sharing.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Thanks for all the comments. This was such a great hunt and I enjoyed sharing some of the memories with you guys.

Not that scoring by any means is the ultimate measure of a trophy but some of you have been asking about the numbers of this bear so thought I'd throw up an update.  The SCI scoring dude did some official measurements last week.  The skull came in at 19 15/16".  For what it's worth, that qualifies this bear for the SCI Gold category.  I'm not yet sure what that means exactly but it does validate that this bear is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime bear.

It means that when you get him back you really need to let me stop in for a look!

That thing is a monster.

This brute is coming back to life. Taxidermist still working on the final detail phase of the mount and will be ready to pick up in the spring.  The height of the mount is just over 6’ and will look pretty sweet next to my wife’s snow baby collection in the dining room LOL...she can’t wait to have this thing in the house!  :chuckle:

Such a gorgeous mount and animal.

Just Wow!  Beautiful beast.
