That thing looks like a toad, looks like you had a heck of a hunt bud!

Tagged out on this cool looking Wyoming bear on Sunday.

Thanks for starting the new thread, OP!

Nice bear that's an awesome color scheme you got going there

Thanks! Yeah I agree! I wasn't planning on keeping the hide after checking it in but the black mohawk is just too cool.

That mowhawk is sweet, a buddy of mine shot one a few years back that was all black with a 4in wide bright cinnamon mowhawk.

Now that’s a hunt of a lifetime right there, way get it done with the bow, I’d have crap running down both legs..

That would be sweet! Love those interesting colors like that.

I'd love a blonde color phase bear next. Or just a slob of a black colored bear. Still haven't broken that 6' mark.

Just got back from a diy spot n stalk with the rifle up in northern Ontario. 12hr drive north to make a basecamp. Not a huge bear, but plenty big when packing out to the truck! Meat and hide are in the freezer now.

Great bear!

What was that bear's square or length roughly? Love the meat picture because I kept thinking to myself, "is there something I am forgetting?" and it looked pretty much identical to that. So I don't think so!

My first bear, a blonde from Idaho!

I just go 4 whole legs, two back straps, two tenders, the neck, heart and then the little off cuts that u missed on the whole cuts. I'll take rib meat there is any to speak of. This bear had paper thin rib meat and little fat for rendering.

I'll throw a tape on the hide this weekend when I pull it out to clean and salt. If 8 had to guess, its prob 5ft nose to tail. I'll lay it flat and get a number though

Right on. That's what I took, too and my bear was pretty close to the same size. Always good to have bear meat in the freezer!

I probably could have grabbed some more fat, but I opted not to. I don't know what I'd use that rendered oil for.
