Congrats Randy!   Great story, too.  Be sure and send me a pic so I can get it in the next TBM newsletter, with short story of course.   Once again congratulations.

Not only is that a great bear, the story was awesome and the pics really point out to me what we in the midwest are missing. My stories would go something like, he entered the bean field down by that gate, when he got his head even with those cornstalks I knew I was gonna get a shot..... Somehow it just don't sound as good! Congrats.

Just checkin-in.  Thanks all for all of your kind words.  It wasnt supposed to happen this year, not really.  I was anticipating 3-5 springs before hopefully realizing this goal.  This was my first season goin after-em hard.  Very fortunate on this score.

Mark, I will and thanks for the pat on the back.
It's nice to have a story to tell.     :thumbsup:  

Shawn, I hear you man.  I grew up in Vermont hunting.  Things are definitely grander (best one word description I could think of) out here.  And most people think it's the altitude that takes your breath away.

Thanks for letting me know the poundage! My new Super Shrew is 54#@26.5". Very close to yours.
