Another guy that hunts with my bud stopped by to see the bear and asked if this was the clothes I wore for hunting.(he was dressed head to toe in camo) I said, Yes, I wear this type of outfit for all my hunts. He could not believe it!

(I have nothing against camo, I just don't wear it.

Check out the scars above this bears eyes. He also has a big old scar on his head.

Here's a close-up of the scars.

When I checked the bear in to the Game Warden, we found big canine punture holes in this bear's throat as well, and many other cuts and scars while skinning him.

My buddy called today and knows where those fresh marks came from, he has a monster showing up on the cam now. I hope he get's it. He was so sick, and he still helped me get this beast out, besides letting me sit on his bait. What a nice guy. I took the Pronghorn Ferret recurve off the ads, and I am giving that bow to him. He deserves it.  :thumbsup:  Thanks Seith!

Tracy,
 Way to go! I just got in from setting a bunch of traps for some problem beavers and was about to burn up.What a way to cool down while reading about your hunt. Great bear, love those color phase bears.
