Opening Day Spring Bear Hunt 2016

[Panther]

The taxidermist measured his head said was in the 300 lb range. He said was an inch short of Boone and crocket score (Story of my life)
I hit him at around 50-75 yards a little low behind shoulder with my Remington 700 7mm. Found him in the dense reprod about 100 yards from there.

Congrats Panther! Nice looking bruin. Are you having a rug made or shoulder mount?

[Panther]

Thank you!!! I am pretty stoked. Dan Smith at Willamette Taxidermy is doing a rug for me. His work is freaking amazing.
