    my black booner

    well guys to make a long story short i got a monster blackie. the old timer is an absolute monster. hes a real old boy. his top teeth were wore right down to gums. i have some pics to post, but dont know how to do it. if theres someone that can post them for me that would be awsome. the bear squares 7'11 and 1/2. and his head is absolutely gigantic.being the size of the head and i want to get it scored, (it has the potential to be high in the B&C), would it be bad to get the skull boiled? i dont want to lose any size on it.

    one shot with the 338, 210 grain tsx dropped him in his trax.

    i will post more of a story later.

    Super bear !!!

    I have only seen 1 like that and he took off befor I could shoot.

    Keep us posted on the skull.

    Don't boil...go with beetles.
    if people of color do it, it's "affirmative action" "civil rights", etc, etc. If a bunch of white folks do it....its "racist" and "hate speech" quote Willyqbc

    Congrats on a HOG! Squaring nearly 8' is gigantic! Not to mention the huge noodle on him. Great bear; looking forward to the story.

    Run him through the bugs then keep in a cool place til getting scored, after that then degrease and whiten if you want.

    Talk to srupp if you like, he is shipping down a skull for the same thing next week, we had a talk on the phone yesterday so he knows the drill and he knows his bears

    Looks like you caught him in the in the first picture!!! Nice bear for sure. Let us know what his noggin measures out at.

    we took a quick measure on it after skinning it out and trimming down to bone. and the length of the skull is rite around 15 inches. and the width is between 8 and 3/4 and 9. we just are rough measuring mind u, but what i have been reading, it has some potential and im very excited. its a bear of a lifetime to me!!!!!
