Congrats on your bear. Way to put him down. I heard some disturbing news last night from a friend of mine in Skykomish. It seems to guys he works with shot 2 bears and couldn't find either of them. It's my belief that if you are going to shoot any animal let alone a bear you better be able to make a clean shot. If you can't make a good shot don't take it and wait until you are in a good position to be able to. Just disturbing to me sorry if I jacked your thread Granola, and nice bear.
