A very excellent job! Congratulations! I suppose the 260 Nosler passed completely through?

Man I know that was good to you! Damn shame you didn't get to use the 458 too! I am sure you must now start carrying it again since your luck has now changed!

Nice Bear! Are you in PA? Our season opened today too. Not much luck around here.

Treat that bear meat like it is the best beef you could buy! Just remove all of the fat and it will be fine!!

Nice-


Looks like dinner to me!
Are you going to have the cape tanned?
That would make a good throw for the bed or a rug for in front of the fire.



Cheers
Tinker
