Very cool mount and bear. Had a knarly gash on the snout.
Yes, when the bear was down, the guide thought he needed to take a finishing shot and caught it on the snout.  Just  another part of the story.

What a pig, I want a full mount so bad I just havent killed one worthy yet.  Congrats to your buddy.  We were just up on the island last weekend fishing, but didnt see any bears.

I talked with him last night, said it is still to be moved downstairs but he needs some manpower to do it.

He couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

I never have seen bears like we did on the island.  We would be glassing and have 3 to 5 bears in our field of view at times.  Just incredible habitat up there for the bears.

Let me know if you need a hand, my schedule is quite flexible these days ;)

I'm not sure Chukar would be much help on the bears  :rolleyes:  If you are up for the trip though you're in :tup:

I just got an email from the outfitter and he says they did much better than average on the island this spring and took a lot of older boars in new areas as they branch out to unhunted area in their territory.

I'm gettting closer to sending in a deposit everyday.
