I actually got him more toward Grandy Lake. I did not have time to go get my DNR key so I deicide to head behind a Sierra Gate that I figured wouldn't get much traffic (on my bike).

I was shooting a 300 Win Mag with Federal Nosler 180 grain.

I think I'm going to do a rug. I could shoot a bigger bear but it would be pretty hard to beat his coat. He did have a small white spot on the chest. I have never seen a coat so full. From nose to tail he's about 5'4".

Early Spring Bears tend to have really nice coats.  I bring some of my nicer bears in, in the spring.  It is harder to get a nice full coat on a fall bear unless it is killed in late October/November.
