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 :P

Gee I thought it was illegal to hunt with automatic weapons?

Or did he skin it out with a plastic knife?

Great work.

 :dunno:  Didn't realize I posted this in the general forum.  If one of the mods want they can move it to the Taxidermy Forum.
