well congrats on a fine bear, sounds like you all had a great time
Have to ask, how bad were the black fly's and other bugs?
I know they can be wild up there this time of yr!
also, did they age your bear? did you save the skull?
I know here in PA, if you kill a bear the state game dept will take a tooth and give you some detailed history on the bear/ age and possible past yrs info(if they ever trapped it, they collect DNA, and keep records)
have to think they would for a fee age a tooth for you too, if that interest you or not?
I know they will age a deer for I think 30 bucks here in PA!, not sure on price of a bear but has to be about the same I gather!
