He was good sized between 6'2" and 6'3"

Nice!  Looks a little lean.  Much in the way of berries yet?

Hole in his shoulder looks like you were up close with an Accubond!

Lots of berries, just in weird places, everything is ripe that didn't get burned up.  Some of them are pretty soft almost no green berries left.

 Berger vld left that hole, absolutely liquefied both lungs.  I have only had an accubond make a hole like that once, but is was close

Thanks for the info.  So that is an exit hole then.  Cool!  We get similar holes at entrance on close Accubond shots, but exit holes are less impressive.

Now all you need is an October tank to go along with this one.  Congratulations on the early bear.

Nice bear  What did you shoot him with?

300 win mag Berger 185 vld

.300 win mag lung shot at 120 yards and he still ran at you until you hit him again at 30 yds? One tough bear!

Sounds like it was a fun hunt. Smile on your face says it all!

  those are the best eating bears to get in my experience.  They are huge and fuzzy too, great hides.

He was pretty tough, although he was not going much farther, he had slowed to a walk and didn't have many steps left, just no sense letting him lose any more elevation I would have to gain back with a heavy load

Better have that one mounted

 I was thinking........ Go ahead and shoot another one quick and then you can take me fishing when the silvers are in.
