O man gotta love the criticism! She was pretty mangy but had a full coat no rub marks or anything. She looked pretty in the scope but what you see is not what you get all the time I guess. Now its time to get down to business and go after the big guy that will keep the predator trophy at my house another year. Good luck to everybody, bear season is just about to get good and there should be some good ones hitting the ground soon!

After seeing the pictures, I'd call that a "mercy killing".

Worms you mean maggots? .. That looks like a bear only a mother could love... Sorry bro but that thing is uuuuggglyy....  I think you shot big foots Dik..

The long long hair on that bear at end of summer is a dead giveaway that it will be full of worms  the coat is starry and dull another sign of worms, and his face is kinda mangy....you probably did that bear a favor its worms would probably have won over the course of winter.

The Girlfriends 7 year old calls it the shaggy bear! ha ha. He wants me to make a rug out of it so he can put it on the wall. Didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't going to happen but I did say I may get it tanned. I don't know though I don't think I want to pay the $375 I normally pay to get that hide tanned but we will see.

That is a mangy looking bear, but it is a bear down for you, congratulations!!  Any animal taken legally is a good animal.  I hope to be able to hunt once I get the cast off my arm, I can't gut or cut up an animal with one arm.

Those worms are there so you can go fishing after the hunt.
