My First Black Bear

I juste take a look at you video. Great shot, well placed, this is a testimony to the serious you put on that hunt. You surely practice a lot for that moment.

Great bear!! One problem. Your now going to have to hunt a LONG time to beat that. Should be great fun in the process though. Congrats.

thanks guys for all the kind comments. Must say I am pretty happy today as I feel I have the most wonderful wife in the world. She said I am free to do whatever I want with the bear, so today I made arrangements with the taxidermist to have a full mount done. I will have to post pictures once its done. Probably wont be till after christmas.

Beautiful bear. And if you don't already use one of these you might want to try one. I couldn't hunt bear without one.

Ya thanks for the advice. I wish i could have had pictures that night. I had my arms pulled in my sleeves holding the therma cell up to my face and they were still biting me!! It was brutal. I would never have made it without the thermacell. It may not have totally stopped them but it sure makes a huge difference.
