Nice bear Ruger.  I guess the worm has turned for you.  You aren't the same hunter you were a few days ago.  Take care of the meat & it will rival venison.  It won't taste like venison but it will be as good.  You think a deer can smell you, well the bear is at least as good.  The rascal won't stop & look back; once he decides to run, he runs.  Good job.  Welcome to the bear cult.

my dad showed me the video. it was pretty cool. how far did it end up rolling down the hill? from what i could tell, the hill looked like it was pretty steep the whole way down. which looked liked a LONG ways down there.

He rolled about 600 yards down the hill. Which was plenty to justify the language you heard on the video.
The video shows a little too much backround to post on here for others to enjoy.

damn. too bad you couldn't have brought the hide out. thats a very nice bear. i hope that the skull is still there when you go back. the hides of both of my bears are still in the freezer. after our house is finished being built i will know what our budget will be like and hopefully i can afford to get a rug and a live size mount. and i understand why you cant post the vid. i wouldnt want give up my sweet spot either. congrats on your first bear though!
