  Here Are Some Pics.  Just Got Back From The Taxidermist For A Bear Skinning Lesson Since It Was My First And I Didn't Want To Screw It Up. 
  Thanks Moros.

Fantastic!  That's a PIG of a spring bear. 

Looks like he has some rear foot issues :dunno:  Is he just rubbed there or is that left ankle twisted a bit?  Maybe he's just so fat he couldn't get those feet all the way off the ground :chuckle:

I'm happy for you.  Very nice!  :tup:
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

  It's The Weirdest Damn Thing.  The Tops Of Both His Back Feet The Hair Was Worn Down To Skin.  No Muscular, Or Skeletal Damage At All.  Taxidermist Thought It Might Be From Climbing Trees?
  I Did Cut Open The gut, And It Was About 50/50 Grass, And cambium layer.

Not sure I have ever seen a bear climb a tree with the tops of his feet :chuckle:

I've seen that before back when guys would use molasses on bear baits.  Dumb bear would lick the hair completely off their sticky feet.  Maybe he found some good Pooh Bear honey somewhere :dunno:

I've also seen dogs do that after getting into porcupines.  But that would be odd for the hind legs.  Devils club maybe? 

Just adds to the story of a great bear!  One I expect you won't be forgetting any details of  for decades.  Looking forward to the story if and when you get some sleep.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

  No Way!  I Shot It Right On The Side Of The Road, Then Hiked Back To The Truck, And In He Went.  Doesn't Get Any Better Than that :chuckle:  Only Packing I Did Was From The Ground To The Tailgate  :chuckle:
  For My First Bear I would Have Quartered It Before I Drug It.  He Has The Most Beautiful Thick Hide.  Besides His Back feet :chuckle:
