Here's a pic of him skinned out, for reference i'm 6'3 235lbs, it's not the best pic but I think it helps show the true size.

I don't think I've seen this many color phase as well as big bears in a spring season since I've been around Hunt Wa or living in Wa.

Nice job!
:yeah:

Yeah, it was quite the opposite, I knew he was real big when I shot but he kept getting bigger every step I took walking up to him.
