Good sized bear, yep, unfortunately rubbed his face.  Shot one like that where he had rubbed 50% of his face that bald.  Shot him back home in Montana, late 80's early 90's.  Unfortunately not wall material with a rub like that, he was angling away from me, couldn't see his face when I shot.  Still tasted good. :EAT:
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

My theory:

He was trying to avoid the spring bear tag holders by disguising himself.  Unfortunately, the only disguise he could find was one of those bear suits... :chuckle:

Nice bear :tup:

Well I've never seen a bald face bear before.  Nice looking coat though.  It remind me of the movie "The Great Outdoors" with John Candy where he shoots the bald headed bear in the @ss with shotgun lamp.  Now a bare @ss bald headed bear :chuckle:
