7 rem mag with Hornady 162grbtsp.
One short broadside approx 40 yards in the creek. Did three spins then took off around the bend about 10 feet and done. When I gutted him minimal shot damage but the heart was absolutely gone. Just couple value pieces
Awesome bear! Congrats!
Nice bear, have you had the chance to score the pumpkin?
Their steaks, roasts and burger to me! Tom
Not yet but I sure will when I can. Because heat was a factor I just skinned it fast as I could so the meat would start to cool down and I put the hide in the freezer. When I decide to get the hide tanned, I will do a euro mount and if I believe its worth it submit it to be officially scored. My last big bear was 1/2 shy of the books and this bear has a bigger mellon
That's a big bugger for sure. Congrats bc_ let us know how that pumpkin scores
its gonna take a life time to hunt and fish all this
Massive bear!! The chest on him is huge!! Congratulations
Live to Hunt...
Great Story and awesome bear!
Congrats, that a damn nice bear!
Finland is a neutral country - but the guns point to the east.
