Thanks guys, Ken thought we were all kidding him about his bear being a hog. That was when the outfitter offered him a second tag if he wanted to trade his bear to him to mount.
Sean didn't have a full mount in the lodge and would have done it in a second.
Ken was beat and went to turn in for the night. I sat down with a glass of Crown to relax and he stated asking if Sean was serious, damn straight he's serious.....you got one heck of a bear. He decided to full mount it himself as we sat there.
Drop Sean an email for the rates, not sure what they are this year. We think we'll go back in a year or two. It really was the most fun we had on a hunt. We drove up and ferried to Vancouver Island and then on to Port Alberni.

http://canadianguideoutfitters.com/I went back to see if I had the cost in an email and didn't find it, I want to say $4k but it could have been $5k. I try not to remember those numbers.
I did find an email with a quick shot of Goliath though, that Sean had sent me. He has it posted on his site and says it is the largest bear he knows of alive, claims they'll get him this year. Hope some lucky hunter outsmarts him, he's a hog.
