I worked three hours trying to drop my tank and couldn't get to a few items (big arm syndrome), so I then abandoned that approach, and cut an access panel out of the read deck in my Bronco. Will be welding up some flanges tomorrow to wrap things up...what a pain in the behind. I just wanted to be hunting. Could have been worse, the pump quit after four days of hunting....so I guess I am lucky to break down at home...

Nice to see your hard work putting together the bear skinning guide is paying off?

Oops, and sorry about the thread jacking!

Alright - alright - FINALLY have the pics ready. 

A few details about the bear.  It measured 5' 7" - nose to tail and weighed in at about about 225.

Just to give you an idea of what kind of terrain he was in....this is where I shot him.  As I said, he literally jumped up, turned, and rolled over next to the log.  I stretched him out to get a good pic.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or destroy it, piss on it and walk away!
