Thats funny cause I was on my way to Idaho and thought I would check up on Travis and gave him a call, left a message and he called me back like 5 minutes after I hung up. He had just gotten done packing out his bear :chuckle:  I was only an hour and a half away, I could have made the turn to help but he already had it handled  ;)

Thats a great bear Travis, I have a feeling hes got a good skull! Nice Job man!!
