very nice bear!  love the color.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

First off, thanks for your service. Second, congrats on a great bear. Awesome color and good size. Looks like a beautiful area also.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. CAMPMEAT this was the first animal I've shot with my 257 wby but I was impressed. It ran maybe 20 yards if it was lucky, of course it was also only 100 yards away and I took out the back portion of each lung. Also tried my first bear backstrap today and I was suprised by how good it was, I think I might like it better than deer.
