Basically I havn't had much time to hunt or scout since I've been working swing shift so I was left with wk ends only. Saturday I was doing some walk abouts on some old overgrown roads just trying to make something happen when I started to run into some fresh sign so I figured I'd just sit down & see if anything would show up. So after about an hour of taking a few naps & checking the Mariner score on the Cell Phone I look up & their was a Bear about 200yds out. After about 5min it finally gave me a shot. I hit it behind the Shoulder & it exited thru the Chest. It ended up dying about 40 ft off the Road so made for a easy drag.

That's getting it done right there!
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Since this wasn't a Bear that I was interested in getting Mounted or having a Rug made I figured getting the Skull done up would be kind of a cool thing to do. Here's a couple pics & thanks to Mike at Bugs & Bones for doing great work.
