Four foot bear? Thank god someone else shot a four foot bear too! No shame here. Good job, and hopefully I too can get a larger bear.

big fatt... way to go on your first bear!! right on...my first bear was a freakin horrorshow , to tell the truth. you are on your way man. keep er up

[big fatt]

thanks man I owe it to billy rock for taking the time with me that day and telling me what to look for while hunting bear.Years in the past I just bought the tag and if I stumbled across a bear then I could shoot him,but to be honest with you I am an archery hunter and every time I saw one it was hauling the mail and gettin the heck out of dodge.But last year I decided to take the time when scouting Elk and take my rifle and well thats when I was driving down the road and there he was in a tree 20 yards off the road and the rest is history

haulin the mail.. thats a good one! never heard that one before.
