Hide size? Green skull measurement?

Hide size? Green skull measurement? Yes, please. Great looking bear! Big, nice hide, and it looks like you didn't have to pack him. CONGRATS!

Never measured a thing. In eastern nc weight is what folks go after. My buddy running dogs has killed 500+ pound bears. Hard to get a book bear despite weight but I am sure some make it. Lots of agriculture plus bear sanctuaries produce some real fatties.

Nice one. Good shot! Real late to chase bears here. Lots of bad weather to contend with. I think I'll just sit on my couch.

My wife will pass up a venison roast for a bear roast any day. So will I. Never ate one this big before so I am hoping it will be just as good as the smaller bears we have taken. Thanks guys.

Did he have much fat? Will you render some?

Nice Bear. Looks like a dandy. I love the 350 mag. I've had a couple, still have one left. I like what it does to deer and elk.

Did he have much fat? Will you render some? Yeah, he was covered up with thick hard fat. Tell me about rendering fat. Uses? ![[Linked Image]](http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h50/Sakoluvr/fat_zpsn46nlsou.jpg)

Makes the best pie crust, makes great tortillas. Blended with beeswax, makes great saddle grease. Use it anywhere you can use shortening.

Works pretty good for boot dressing too. Nice bear!
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.
