Wow. I'm going out for my first hunt for bear tomorrow with my old-timer hunting buddy. I would be thrilled if I was half as successful as you were for your first bear. Congrats!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Make sure you have the skull dried 60 days and then get it scored. We have a head contest each year for biggest bear or cougar killed. It is a sweet trophy that you get to keep for a year if you have the best critter. That looks like a nice skull. There was a dandy springer killed this year that will be hard to beat but it's worth a shot.

The trophy is sitting on my fire place right now  :IBCOOL: I don't mind sharing :chuckle:
