That’s a beautiful bear! What bullet did you use, and what are your plans for the hide? I’d like to try bear hunting at some point in the future. I think a bearskin blanket would go really well with a fire, a glass of whiskey, and a good book. Congrats on your hunt!

I shot my favorite 308 bullet, the 175 SMK. It made a hell of a mess out of her lungs. Im planning on doing a rug with the hide. Thanks!
