Wow, beautiful bear.  Congrats to your Pops.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Cool bear, love the color phase.

Way to go!  Beautiful color.  Nice bear.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

yes as far as i know it was a blues tag...

Dad told me a few hours ago that him and his friend had woke up early after a terriable rainy foggy day before and headed out in hopes of seeing a good bear.......him and his friend  finally got to the draw they picked out and glassed for a few hours and finally this bear came out and started lazily eatting and hanging out. Dad got back in the rig and drove all the way around the big draw where he had a better advantage point for a stock...finally after some time he finally worked his way onto the bear again....Dad said just about the time he was about to shoot the bear it turned and looked at him and thats when he dropped it...one shot kill.

Deffinently a mounter in my book though. Dads happy as all get out.

Saaawweeettt. Give him a pat on the back the next time you get a chance.  Definitely a nice bear in my books. And a color phase at that. I hear there a few to be had down in the blues. How far of a shot did he end up taking?
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.
