Old thread here is gone, but my buddy that killed a big bear with Mike Muncy last year, stopped by this morning.
IIRC, he said the official score on the skull was 30-4/16". He may go out to Reno in July, hasn't decided yet. Cabela's shipped his skull out there some time ago, if not mistaken?
He said they ranked it as the biggest bear taken around Kodiak in the past 30 years.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

That is a huge skull and is one I will look forward to seeing. Skulls over 30" are rare and have only come from Kodiak and the Peninsula. ![[Linked Image]](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/Grizskins/bearskull.jpg)

A 30" skull is just plain unreal...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I remember a pic on here of a monster bear and it's head was propped up on a propane tank and it was as wide as the tank was long. I wonder if that's the same bear?
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.
