Congrats on your first bear!  Do you plan on having it mounted?

Thanks everyone. I shoot a Browning A bolt in 30 06 with 165 grain TSX bullets. The bear was almost directly facing me and I shot it at 85 yards. I hit in front of the front right shoulder and the bullet exited in front of the opposite rear leg.
