Thanks for all the comments!  He is a really great bear and Mike's biggest yet. 

For you guys that want to know how and why we took him out whole.......We rolled him down the mountain about 200 yards and stopped him on a step embankment located on a skidder trail.  We took some pics and I backed up my 4-wheeler (Honda Foreman 450) and decided that it wasn't going to be big enough so we decided to use the back rack on the Arctic Cat.  Since there was a gap between the hillside and the rack, I placed logs from the hill onto the rack and we rolled him onto the 4 wheeler.  We secured him with tie downs, rope and bungee cords and then we got him off the mountain back to base camp.

From there we rolled him off the 4-wheeler onto the tarp, took some pics, and then full body skinned him for a standing mount.  We took the nice clean quarters, backstrap, cape, etc. and put them directly on ice, loaded the carcass back onto the 4-wheeler and drove it back into the timber where we cut out the liver and checked the stomach contents.  Nice clean job with direct access to ice and cold refreshments :)

It sounds like a hunting show on TV, in being a hundred or so yards from a road when the animal is taken and loading the animal whole onto a quad, truck ect. Then bringing the animal back to the shop to gut, skin and butcher  ;) I'm just giving you a hard time. He's a beast. Let us know what the final score is.

I like doing it that way...that's how I got mine this year...about two hundred yards from the trail where my wheeler was parked.  It's very nice skinning in a clean shop with a cold frosty in hand!
