I’m jealous of the awesomeness of the mustache!

Hahahah. You and @North Idaho Stickbow gotta get on the stache train. Bears guaranteed.

No stache here... Gave this dude a hair cut/new piercing the week before. Felt good to get another try and some redemption. Took him 6 days to return to the original hillside.

Two for me this year. Have taken a few this size and after they age a tooth, they all have been 10y or older.

I took my wife on her first bear hunt this year.
3rd sit in the stand and she killed this beauty.
I was right above her in the same tree and got it all on video
Green score of 19 14/16

*EDIT* - I forgot to mention she was 14 weeks pregnant here too

 

[North Idaho Stickbow]

With a bow too! I love it

Old boar from NW Montana (my second after a 3 year drought). I was able to bring my oldest son on this hunt which made it even more special. 30 yard lung shot with 300 win 205 Berger Elite from Unknown Munitions. Dead within 15 yards.
