Very very nice Sir!  WELL PLAYED!

Nice bear!  Can't wait to hear the story.  Unfortunately, i wasn't drawn so have to live vicariously through all of you that have spring tags.

[Timber]

That is one heck of a bear! He looks more like 350 to me! Congratulations!

[shanevg]

Yeah, congrats on the awesome bear!  Since I wasn't drawn, August can't come soon enough.  I already have trips planned for the whole month!   

[SuperDave]

Nice looking bear!  Excellent hide!  Would make a nice half mount! 

[Hunting Cowboy]

Way to make the most of your tag! Congratulations!

Congrats old timer!
Glad to see you connect. You have put alot of time and effort in the last year to learn more about WA bears and their habits. I have to agree with Timber in that he looks to be better then 300#. Most of the time people guess way high, but I think you are the opposite. That bear has large pads, a big melon and a thick neck..and yes.. quite the package., I may as well say it before some one else.

My only question (right now) is if you killed it on the 9th why did it take you so long to tell us? lol

Again, congrats.

Wow, that is a great bear!  Congratulations.

I have to agree with Billy! 300+ , dandy bear!! Hope your getting it mounted

[Bscman]

Way to go! Glad to see you got one.

I agree with everyone else, we need the story!!!!
