thanks,,,
sorry no full mount, probably rug mount,
not a huge grizz, 6 and a half tail to nose, a good melonhead and an awesome coat, fur about 4 to 5 inches long ,no rub spots, thick and silver blond shoulders and back with cinnamon/chocolate legs, perfect claws about 3 inches long, he must been ruffed up by other Gbear recently, fairly fresh scar on his snout about 1 inch long, bears just starting to really move in that area up around the Prophet River, up till now, No green food , just greening up nicely now, lots of dandelions, clover, lush grass, lots of calving elk in this area ,three trips up there scouting for Gbears in last 6 weeks, have seen a quite a few sow grizz with cubs and tons of blackies , this trip paid off with a good grizz boar :smile:

Come on man... only a .416? I would have to say that you are lucky going into the bush with such a whimpy little gun... You might as well brought a .22!!:mrgreen:

Beauty bear Congrats!

Beauty bear Congrats!

yeah! I guess the .416 Mag is a little excessive?? :-? :oops:

but some bears dont know their "LIMITATIONS", :(

next time I go after GRIZZ with the .416 I will back off a couple of grains on the powder charge! ,,,
