    Nice job Dustin. The boys and I harvested a couple of Cinnamon phase bears this season. Saw a blondie almost pure white last Wednesday. Recognize the area in your picture.

    Haha, ya I have gotten into the habit of naming each big game animal I kill. And the name goes on the packages to keep them organized. Helps me remember the hunt while I'm eating through the year. I figured Tripod was appropriate for this guy.

    Three posts in ten years. Looks like it's your turn to share a story too! I'm sure you've got some.

    I've seen a super blonde bear in that same area you were telling me about.

    Great story! I hope you remembered to zip back up before heading back to town!

    Interesting bit about the limp and finding the chunk of lead. Amazing he kept on keeping on living life and scrapping other bears.

    Very nice meat haul too. On average I would guess 40% of the animal is meat but it depends on the bear. Nice to see the finished project all packaged up and labelled like that.

    Nice work! I've shot a couple black tails on sunday family outings lol.. My 14 year old son was 3 when he slept through me jumping out the toyota to blast a rut struck BT lol...

    Bears are tough as ****! Many stories of people pulling other peoples lead out of bears..sometimes happens with deer but not as common..I once witnessed a B Bear pulling himself by his front legs across the highway before Princeton, I have so much respect for bears half of me thinks its still alive and dragged itself to a nice dandelion patch and is building fat for the winter..lol

    Until this year Ive always made sausage or hams or other processed products out of bear but this year I was lazy and besides some jerky ground the whole thing and don't know why i haven't before its amazing as ground meat..

    Congratulations on a great outing. I haven't even gotten out yet, my long weekend hunting plans became getting in firewood weekend. I got into a great spot for firewood and couldn't resist. I don't really need the meat and bear is not my wife's favourite(she loves all the other wild game we put in the freezer just not a fan of bear) so the motivation isn't there.

    Most excellent of times, what a profound bless up!

    This tale surely tells of nothing but the best of life here in BC. Congratulations, that sure is a great way to put a fine Bear in your picnic basket!
