Bear?

[Slider]

I agree, They are both small.

Believe it or not the average bear in WA is 145 for sows and 175 for boars.

find your self a pic of a 400lb bear you will see the differance

I would agree with most here they are both small but hey with a bow I might consider the cinnamon! Ahhh what the heck you get two tags anyway put an arrow in the cinnamon and go buy another tag! Good luck

What will really get me is if my daughter gets a shot at one with her bow; and whacks a bear before me.

If I do arrow a bear what does a rug cost or shoulder mount.

[Machias]

Used to be about $100 a foot, probably a little more now.  Shoulder mount will probably run you around $400 plus.  Nice thing is they take several months on most taxi will let you make some monthly payments.

No offense to the guys (and gals) across the mountains, but any recs for local taxis?

[Machias]

I highly recommend Darren Fuson up near Nine Mile Falls.  Great guy.  I can give you his phone number if you'd like to chat with him.

That would be great, hopefully either way I will be needing one this year. I am hoping my daughter arrows her first deer. She has claimed a dow with rifle, but I promised a mount if she sticks one with an arrow.

I'll PM you later on.  Even if you get a small one, my opinion you should get the hide at least tanned.  You can do so many different things with the hide.  I arrowed a small bear one year and had the hide tanned.  It turned out nice and didn't cost toooo much.
