Big Hank in Arizona 2014 when I had some luck in the draws

This was two days before season while scouting

Then I found him on the opener

Pretty sure mine was the same bear my wife and I saw two years earlier in one of our regular hunting/hiking areas not far from home. Got him out whole and he weighed 304lbs. After drying the skull scored 19 7/16th and wdfw says he was 11

It looks like @HillHound either needs to stop shooting bears or build a new house.

Very nice.

Yes once my son is done with school and out of the house our forever house will definitely have a trophy room required. I’m sure not going to stop shooting stuff just because there’s no where to put it. I have a rug that should be done sometime and a hide in the freezer I want a half mount done on but no clue where I will put them when finished. I’m sure I will find a spot
