Post by: Timberlineduke on August 19, 2008, 11:54:04 PM: I shot this bear in eastern Skagit County near Bacon Creek. I'm sure he had just come down out of the mountians to the valley bottom. He was very fat and had a very heavy coat.

Post by: wamuledeer on August 20, 2008, 11:17:16 AM: Great looking bear. I got one similar size last year that was cinnamon. It was 6'1" from nose to base of tail and 6'6" from front paw to front paw.
Nice looking rug too, congrats.

Post by: Timber on August 20, 2008, 08:26:55 PM: That is a stud of a bear! Huge, nice color and great fur. It doesn't get any better than that.
This is the bear I told you about in the pm. I took the picture in '05, pretty close to Bacon Crk.

Post by: Timberlineduke on August 20, 2008, 09:24:56 PM: Ya I know.......I couldn't pass up the brown one though........so now I'm afraid I'm gonna have to get a Black on Black for a contrast......... ;)
