Extra large Washington Black Bear Skull/Euro

[Elkstuffer]

This bear was shot in the Cowiche unit during a coyote hunt. The hunter was shooting .243 FMJ. He shot it once in the head and he dropped in his tracks. He scored 20 10/16.

WOW

Thats a nice bear.  What did you cover that euro with?  Some sort of lacquer?

[Elkstuffer]

Super fish gloss. It seals the skull and keeps the dust from getting into the porous bone and darkening it.

Was it shot out of self defense or did the guy just see it an shoot it? 

[Elkstuffer]

I'm assuming that he saw it and shot it. He didn't say anything about it charging him.

Was it shot out of self defense or did the guy just see it an shoot it?  

Or did it come to a call.

Whopper for sure.

Last I checked you cannot hunt bear, deer or elk with anything smaller than .24?  Turn his ass in!  Thats B.S.

Wow...how did I miss that. I thought it said .243. I must be getting dyslexic.

Big bear but the score don't matter if it was shot illegally.

[Elkstuffer]

My mistake. It was a .243. Sorry for the confussion.

[BC CHASER]

I think we need to turn up the heat.   I would like to look at the whole in the skull and see if it is infact a .22.  I also think we will have some backtracking on this one.  It is B.S. !  

[BC CHASER]

Ah ha I knew it.  If he was coyote hunting maybe it was a .223.

[Elkstuffer]

OR it was a .243 and I made a typo. Mello out! If I thought for a second that it was taken illegally I would have turned him in myself. I'm in too good of standing with my local fish and wildlife to screw with illegal activity.

[billythekidrock]

I use a .243 for coyotes and since the 2, 3, and 4 are next to each other on the keyboard, I see how it very easily could be a typo.
