Great story and love the cape. Going for the bear rug, or a partial mount? I don't know what's common on bears.

I used factory old stock Winchester Silvertips, I am thoroughly impressed with the performance. There was very very little explosive temporary wound trauma. I normally shoot TSX's and had ordered a box to load but ran out of time. From the wound I saw no evidence whatsoever to suggest any fragmentation.

I was in Presque Isle county, I had been just buying points because I was too busy but they have reduced the Red Oak tags two years in a row and I figured I better draw now or I may never draw again....I had 8 going in.
I sent you a P.M.

you done right in caring for the game. nice bear! great story. something about multiple bears around to make you feel less than "Hero".
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
