Here is the Bear my 10 yo son took opening morning. Not the biggest bear is the woods but i was not gonna tell my boy to pass it up . Took me 10 years to get a tag , and i made both my sons Sub-permittees .. Hunt of a lifetime for me !

That's awesome. Congratulations.
I'm up here hunting in Swanton with relatives. This weather has added a level of difficulty to this hunt.

Yes , My boy wants a full body . Gonna do a laying on a limb wall mount. And call it what you want . I'm proud of my 10 yo Son for taking this bear . Wasn't about the size of the bear we brought out of the woods... It was about the memories...

How did you get it? Hunt over bait or stalking?

Sorry, didn't mean to disrespect you or your son.

Looks like the bear has a really nice coat, makes for much nicer mount than some old animal with raggedy chewed up ears from years of fighting.

We put up a stand overlooking a creek between 2 ridges . She came off the hill and crossed the creek about 40 yards infront of us . A well placed shot and down she went

My subpermittee hunting partner and I --- went up Allegany County, Maryland, on Monday an Tuesday --- and we both got skunked; though I did find some fresh bear tracks an scat.

Who's doing the taxidermy work for you?

My buddy Jeff Mills . He owns Millsworks Taxidermy in Agusta WV . By far the most reasonable price and has always done great work for me.

Oh its fine Sir , seem to run into alot of people that don't understand my we have a hunting season for them up here. As for the fur , she had a thick shiny coat with a beautiful blaze. Gonna make him a pretty mount.

I didn't know they had dropped the quota and made it a 4 day season. Much better way to do it. I will get picked someday. 5 years and no luck yet.

Easy to hit a ditch when leaving Bills too.

That wasn't your GMC Sierra nose down in the ditch by Stickpile Tunnel at the bottom of Carroll Rd in Green Ridge several years ago was it? Cause I have a bunch of pics of that. :innocent0
