NE WA hot chocolate bear
« on: March 14, 2011, 10:05:41 PM »
Had a request to post this bear I took a few years ago in the NE corner.  This is the first bear I've done.  My daughter, three at the time, was with me when I killed him and she said he was a "hot chocolate bear."  We broke the scales trying to weigh him but figured he weighed between 360 and 400 lbs.  His skull measured 19 7/8 inches.

Very Nice!
~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.
