Used 225 Barnes ttsx. Not sure what I’m doing with the hide yet. Yes I’ll clean the skull up and not sure on age bears are hard to guess without sending a tooth in

That's a fine bear

Looks big. Nicely done.

I've not tried any of the Barnes bullets in the .338 Winchester mag yet and so far I've been shooting 250 grain hornady bullets .

The hide would make a fantastic rug !

Is this a little early to have black bear activity there? It would be early for what I'm accustomed to.

Yes it is. I have shot lots of bears but never shot one in April before. I usually take my baits in late March early April with sled cause it’s easy. Usually bears don’t start hitting till April 20 or so. He’s started hitting the 13th. The last day I just started to get other bears on my baits

Beautiful bear. Congratulations!
