If you go to the photography forum down in "gear" you will find a thread stickied to the top, with excellent directions on how to post a picture.

This string is killing me. Maybe it's the Single Malt, but I doubt it.
It's not the destination...

After all the comments I went back and found the measurement that I jotted down it was 6'9" fro tip of nose to tip of tail.I got the 7'1" from a friend of mine after I got home that told me once the hide was fully fleashed it would relax and that the bear should go over 7'and the other bear would go about 6'8".If this is incorrect I appoligize.I dont know that much about bears.This is my first bear and first hunt in Alaska .I have not tried to misrepresent my bear in any way.as I gave skull size wich is what the bear is measured by I think.I very much enjoyed my hunt and am proud of my first bear.I wanted a color phase.The hide is unrubbed and I think it will make a nice rug.I have asked for the thread to be deleted to avoid any more confussion. I'm sorry for the mix up.
