Anyhow Ive been up 5 times this year and yesterday pinpointed a major feeding area. I saw 2 bears in 5 minutes from a logging road and knew I was gonna score this year. So I took my new lady up with me this afternoon and found this guy 2 minutes after entering the feeding area. He's a heavy SOB real fat and healthy. Didn't measure him but he's a solid 5 footer and had to have weighed in a little over 200 lbs. 2011 was the worst year of my life but 2012 is shaping up to be one of the best.

(this was meant to be humorous, it is in no way meant to demean or bellittle the relationship you have with your lady, I was just trying to be funny. Hope it is taken in jest, I mean nothing by it... plus she would kill me if I sent some of these out,... hey now wait a minuet...)

Congrats Mark. Way to get it done. A little bigger than the last one too, eh?
I'm not sure. I think it was heavier but I think the skull is gonna be smaller. Truth be told I was so damn tired after getting it skinned out I didnt think to measure it. They were pretty close. Its wayyyyyy bigger than my 2009 bear though, lol.
This is my 2010 bear. He was a dandy too. Had to finish him with my .45. Dont want to do that again.
