Thanks everyone!  Yes I did keep the penis!  I'm gonna give it to buglebuster to clean up.  Hope he can handle it :chuckle:
There's not a penis(bone) I can't handle  :chuckle:
You Yakima boys are a different breed!
I hear you fit right in  :chuckle:
Hey it's not my fault! Every real man needs a swizzle stick or 12

Seriously though, thank you everyone for all the compliments. We will make sure and take more pics this weekend and hopefully some grip and grins.  Any bets on whether Chris is gonna miss with his muzzy or not :dunno: :sry: :peep:

Um I am not going there...   :chuckle:  But if I was forced to guess with a swizzle stick at stake my guess is he doesn't miss...

As good of a write up as he did, there is so much that couldn't be put into words from that weekend. Mostly because he doesn't want to get banned.

I will say this too, BLRman, BULLBLASTER,  and Coop2424 are great guys. Thankfully they didn't lynch me for my beagles waking the neighborhood every morning  :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Awesome, way to get it done BLRman. Nice color and looks like a good skull to boot. My grandpa still has an old .32 special Winchester as well.

 on a side note Jonathan you said beagles as in plural, does that mean you found your lost dog or did you end up getting another?

I also didn't mention the secret weapon that I deployed on sunday evening that more than likely sealed that bears fate.  I'm bringing it again this weekend 8)

Great story and glad to see an old warhorse pulled from retirement to harvest game again.   And an even better tribute to your buddy!

If it works again this weekend, you'll never be able to hunt anything without it! Game changer for sure!  :chuckle:

What a great write up.  Very happy you were able to tag a beautiful Idaho bear.

Great write up!  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  I have taken a few deer with my grandfather's 1945 Model 94 .30-30, probably need to kill a bear with it too.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

So I took a roast from the hind quarter and did a dry rub on it.  Seared all sides, then into the crock pot it went until it hit temp.  Carrots, potatoes, and some grilled asparagus.   I will honestly say, it was probably one of the best wild game meats I have ever eaten!  Kept all the big roasts and did a batch of breakfast sausage with some seasoning mix I had left over from the fall.  Had some pork butt left over as well so I tossed it in the grind too.  Probably about 15%.  I know what I'm having for breakfast in the a.m. :IBCOOL:
