Well I got my hunter number in Janurary, and headed out on my first hunting trip last week. since i am a total hunting NOOB, i went with my uncle, up in the McBride area. I am thinking we were about a week early cause we did not see many bears at all.... anyways we saw this guy on our 3rd day, and decided to take him. i was aiming for his left shoulder, but ended up taking him in the neck, and he dropped in his tracks. hide measured out at an even 7 feet, and the skull an even 19 inches... he was a lot bigger up close than we thought he was. Shot him with a .300 win mag at about 130 yards. i hope these pictures work! for reference i am 6'0" and 200 lbs
