These are some horrible pics of one of the nicest bears I taken, The kids had gotten my camera out of my pack to look at some pictures and I didn't realize this this until it was to late. I usually never have my cell with me when I'm hunting, but I'm glad I did this time, Pictures are horrible, But at least I got some I guess. The only real measurement I can give you is the skull, I thought for sure I had B&C award coming my way with a 20 incher, He fell a little short, and its hard to stretch bone. He was 12 x 7 6/8. This is my first brown phase bear I've taken and one of very few I have seen, black is definitely dominate on the west side. The bears really seem to be out this year I think that 3 days of rain we got in late July kept the berries from burning up in the clear cuts.
