dam nice looking bear.....you can see he has the makings of being a monster bear in a few years....that's the rub---do you shoot him now when you have the chance cuz he's real nice or risk letting him grow a year or two to get to the "monster" stage knowing in Idaho they can bait/hound them and he may be gone if you pass him up now....i guess a "bear" in the hand is worth two in the bush....I don't know the area you're hunting but depending on the situation and the amount of bears you have probably already taken (which i guess is a lot) i might let this one go and see what he does next year.  I know its a big risk but you cant shoot a 400 pounder if you shoot all the 300 pounder's the year before.  I know a lot of people are gonna call me crazy but really----whats the real difference in a 200 to 300 lb bear???  you get some more sausage and the rug stretches a foot more on your wall.  I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do but if I honestly had MULTIPLE opportunites on bears during a season shooting the largest may not be the best option...I know I'm gonna take a lot of flack for this but i'm a big man with big shoulders and if someone seriously thinks about it I'm sure that they can see what i'm saying....if you only have one chance a year at shooting a bear by all means whack 'em and stack 'em.....all I'm saying is you can't kill big bears if you shoot all the small ones
