Congrats!!!!

Thanks, everyone!  After so much hard work, this bear feels extra special.  I am thankful that it took me so long because I was able to enjoy a lot of time in the woods.  I typically spend my time out there praying for people in my church and thinking about God's goodness.  Bear or no bear, God is good!

Great way to pass the time while enjoying God's creation!

Well, I got a buck and need to make some freezer room.

(assuming that I can do this legally)  Does anyone want the hide for free? (I live in Bremerton)

I only want to keep the skull.

I had considered having it made into a rug or tanned, but not anymore.

This offer will only stand for a week or two and then I will discard it.

Call some of your local taxidermist, some of them will buy them from you, which is perfectly legal.  You can get $75 to $100 for a good hide.
