Beauty Bear! Congrats! I was just going to see if you had photos of his head and you just posted some.

Finally had a chance to sit down and read your story.

Beautiful bear Phil!! Love the colour and the thickness through his front end!!
To me that’s a sure sign of an older boar and it shows up in his paw to paw measurement.
Damn rubs.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks fellows! I’m pretty stoked, both with this bear and that my 6 year dry spell has ended.

I came up with 260 lbs dry weight, “as shipped” by weighing coolers full of meat, the head and hide, and the skeleton. Makes me guess 300-325 lbs live weight.

Very nice bear and beautiful color. Way to go of getting it done solo. Should be great eating. Thanks for posting. I think your name should be 338 landphil.

Ya nice color, too bad about the rub. I need to fill a void in my freezer soon. I have never saved a hide yet. I do enjoy bear meat though.
Thanks for the pics and the story.
