Got my first bear ever Sept 9th 2018. We were just up for the weekend to do some baiting. First day we set out the bait and just went back to camp for drinks. The next day we went out at about 3pm to check baits but I brought my orange and rifle with me just in case. Sure enough bait was hit the night before and had this guy on camera. So I set it back up and sat for about 2 hrs and he came cruising in again!

Had him sitting in my freezer for quite a while before sending it in for a mount. The taxidermist did a great jog, although he definitely shrunk a bit. He weighed in just under 300lbs!

You'd better erase the game camera images if you want people to believe you shot this bear at a dead run charging at you.
 
That's funny as heck, right out of a Far Side cartoon! Pretty sure it's one anyway. The one where the guy is in one room telling about the great shot he made, while in the other room his wife is telling everyone there about the car running into the deer.

Funny that nobody get the Taxidermist to mount them the way they died, with their head down in a bucket of junk food!

If you are trying to call me an A-Hole, just get on with it.

I'll take it in my usual manner. Like a compliment from someone I have respect for!

The bear died with it's head in a bucket of junk food. But nobody seems too keen on just posing him by the door with a bucket of KFC!

The 'Bear launches itself at it's prey' pose, really deserves any disdain it may accrue.

Mount it and make it look like anything other than it died as a fighting dangerous beast, and I don't really care.

Shot a dump bear years ago. I didn't want to pay the taxidermist bill, so I gave him to my dad, who told all the neighbors and European relatives he shot him on the farm, near Condor. The local paper got hold of the story, followed by a Red Deer television station who discovered he was an artist and did a half hour program on him. The embarrassing part came when some of our relatives came a visiting and I inadvertently let the cat out of the bag. :redface:
