Got this sow yesterday. One round into the neck at the base of the skull out of my 7mag dropped it, was dead before it hit the ground.

I have to wait 4 years before I can take another bear in this area. This is the first bear I have ever taken. Should square out to 7ft, the biologist will have fun trying to measure what is left of the skull. Oops

Congratulations!
Nice bear. Out of curiosity, what was the range to the bear, and which bullet were you using?
Regards, Guy

Congratulations Hank! Well now I can take that off of my "bucket list"... as you got my bear I've dreamed of since around 1966 or so! . memtb

Very cool. Thanks for the info re range & bullet. The good ol' 7mm is very capable and it sure seems you made a great shot!

I hit it exactly where I was aiming. She was quartering away. No exit and I never found a single piece of bullet. The brain was complete mush. The back half of the skull is mostly gone, but I didn't really want to track it into the timber

Are you going to make a rug ? Nice bear. I killed a 7' interior grizzly this past June off the Denali Hiway between Cantell & Paxton.
