Skinny kid with his bear

Got the bear rugs up on the walls - here's my son with his.

Guy,

That is a beautiful bear! Congratulations to your son John, the memories you both made will last for generations.

Guy, what a gorgeous bear your son got! Good thing he got his looks from mom! :mrgreen: :shock:

Nice Bear! Congrats.

Awesome bear! Congrats to your son! That is a helluva good bear. Scotty

 

[DrMike]

Your son has every right to be pleased. A second round of congratulations now that he has the hide rugged.

I'm sure it is a thrill for both of you to see that rug on the wall. No doubt both might be caught running your hand down the rug as you pass by...

Congrats to you both.

Congrats on the nice black bear.

How big was he?

what did he take him with, and how far?

Nice Bear Guy.

He took it with a 375 Ouch & Ouch Ruger #1H Tropical with 260 Accubonds at about 300 yards.

Nice Bear Guy.

Guy shot his with the Three-Seven-Five... I believe his boy (pictured) shot his bear with an old sporterized Enfield in '06...

 

[Guy Miner]

Yup:

Young John shot his at about 150 yards with an old M1917 .30-06 rifle, passed down through the generations. It's the first center-fire rifle I ever shot, in about 1966.

I got mine at just over 300 yards with the .375 H&H, Ruger single shot.

Both are good bears, mine goes a few inches over 6' long, his is a few inches under 6' long. Each had the identical skull measurement: 18 1/4".

Friend Chris was along for the hunt and filled his tag with a glossy black sow that wasn't far behind these two boars in size. It was one heck of a hunt.

Guy,

Those rugs got me fired up! I "should" draw a tag this year. Plan on using the 1895 Guide 45-70 to hunt over bait. The only question is what bullet to use! The 300 gr PP or the 300 gr BST. :grin:

Those are all lovely bears. Great pictures. I really think the "skinny" kid will not bo skinny in not very many years. Lots of bone on that boy he will be big like yourself. Nice photos. !!
