THE CAVE BEAR
Over the last few months a grizzly bear I guided in 2012 has been entered in to the B & C book. Not usually one to talk about books & #s to much but this one deserves it.
So here goes the #s
It is ranked # 15, tied with 4 others, and is the 4th largest ever hunted in Canada, also as a note the next one in the book that comes from the Yukon is ranked somewhere around 200

This was a very old bear, all skin and bones, I estimated the weight at a bit more than 500 lbs. Hide squared 8 ft.
This is a picture of the hunter, Don Seay, whom I guided in 2012 to this magnificent grizzly along the Kluane River in Yukon.
And a picture of myself with it.
