Post by: bowsandhose on May 23, 2009, 10:42:29 AM
i got it done, he is not the biggest bear i saw but I'm happy to have him. he is an old bear his front teeth are worn to the gums canines are all chipped. just over 6' nose to tail. stomach was full of grass. sorry for the bad pics i was solo and getting him out was more important than good pics

Thats funny cause I was on my way to Idaho and thought I would check up on Travis and gave him a call, left a message and he called me back like 5 minutes after I hung up. He had just gotten done packing out his bear :chuckle:  I was only an hour and a half away, I could have made the turn to help but he already had it handled  ;)

Thats a great bear Travis, I have a feeling hes got a good skull! Nice Job man!!
