Appreciate the kind words everyone!  She'll make a good rug.  And it's a 7mm WSM Campmeat.

Nice one John. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Yup, something special about bears in high country. And you know they're eating berries and other veg, so the taste will be sweet. Beautiful hair. How much fat did you get off her?

There was a ton of fat on her.  We kept cutting fat wondering how deep we had to go to get to the meat.  She was eating good that's for sure.
