Here's one from my first spring bear hunt ever. Bearpaw outfitters had a hand in this hunt. It was a good time.

My guess is 19" ish.....this based on my son's from last year that measured 20 4/8". At the time, bearpaw thought it was one of the biggest sows he had seen killed in the area. She was an old barren sow. Here is a picture of the finished rug. Those are 4x8 sheets of wood with the top piece being 2x8 (half sheet). She has a 6" wingspan.....
Man I'd think the snow would be still quite deep there[/quoteI’m anticipating the snow level to be pretty low.
Are you flying in?? Any of the drive in routes aren't going to be passable until June..Good luck... heaven on Earth that beats your ass
This was my first and only Spring Bear. He was the third one I saw that day. I hit him he ran to timber, I went in after him but couldn’t find him at first. There was a lot of down fall I moved under a large fir to go around a log pile and a chunk of bark hit me in the head.The Bear was 30 ft up the tree. I backed up to get a better shot with my pump 30 o6. He started huffing and coming down the tree towards me. At about 10 ft from the ground and 30 ft away I drilled him in the shoulder.He continued down, as I backed up I short shucked my rifle and jammed it. I was about to go to my hand gun when he landed on a down log and took off out of site. I cleared the rifle and my pants. About that time a friend and his brother showed up. Help me look.I found him dead about 100 ft away. They drug him to the road for me.

Double as a stretcher, wood hauler around camp, decoy hauler, floats, truck organizer, dog bed, real handy.Don’t buy a real big one.
