Got my N Skagit Bear

I got my Bear yesterday morning. It was a boar with a sweet coat. The coat is very full and thick. I was mtn bike hunting behind a gate and I was not seeing any sign. I was coming off a spur road and spotted him around a bend in the road about 100 yards away. I ditched my bike and took a 100' kneeling shot. I hit him and he went into THICK reprod. I could hear him but not see him. I finally put a kill shot on him about 100 yards into the reprod. My first shot broke his back but he was still going. The second finished him with a double lung. It was a bit spooky in that dog hair reprod being able to hear him but not see him. They are a tough animal. He was pprobably around 200 lbs. and had no fat. He was a beautiful bear and I'm very thankful. I tried to post a photo but I have not before so we'll see how it goes.

Congrats on a good looking bear. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guy and good luck to all the others with tags.
I was pretty blessed- it was my first day out because of my current shift at work. He appeared to be walking the logging road eating grass.
Has anyone ate a spring bear? He didn't have much of a smell. I have ate them in the berries but never in the spring.
