Man what a bear. A big un for sure! I had to do a double take on that broadside picture, for a split second I thought it was a cow.

Thanks again!
I’m a big guy at 340 and he dwarfed me. I would say a conservative 400 and believe me when I say I don’t use that number lightly. He wasn’t overly fat either. I’d love to see how big he’d be in late fall.
It was a Utah hunt.
I used a 6.5-300 Wby shooting 127 Barnes LRX and I was impressed with how hard it hit. Distance was 130 yards.

I’m planning on a natural/non-mean full body mount though I have no clue where I’m going to put it!

Thanks for the write-up. What a gorgeous bear! Sounds like the hunt was a long time coming, glad it played out so nicely.
