Congratulations, Gary!  Beautiful animal.

What (if any) taxidermy plans do you have for your trophy?

Thank you everyone for the kind words.  By the way, the bow was a 60" Tall Tines, 48# @28". Wilderness Custom Arrow with a Zwickey Delta two blade. Obviously a complete pass through.

My wife originally asked that I not shoot too big of a bear. ??? Oh, AND I would prefer a Black bear as it will match our decore better. Ok dear, whatever you want.

I guess I didn't say that he squared a measured 6' 10+". I prefer "almost" or "just shy of 7 feet", but Ryan is stickler for honesty.

Fantastic hunt gary well done on a Beautiful bear!!

Wait a darn minute, I told you to save the big ones for me!  Congrats buddy!

Congratulations on a great trophy! I am going up week three this year. Can't wait!

Beautifull bear, great fur on him,a real trophy.

I applaud your ability to stay in the moment after the first shot and follow up afterwards with a great 2nd shot. Wish I would have been able to make it to join you this year. Came very close, but just was not doable with my load at work.  As always, Ryan sounds like the consummate bear guide, and the voice of sound direction and guidance. Congrats on your bear!

Great story and a beauty of a bear!! Congrats!
