Finally got the chance to go out for a good hunt yesterday. Got this guy around 730 am. Easily 400 pounds and the bear is still fairly young. He was a very healthy bear and its gonna make a beautiful rug. Took him down with a Remington 7mm. Couldnt ask for a nicer California bear or a better hunt had an easy pack out back to the truck. We skinned him and quartered him there would have been a hell of a drag even with 4 guys.

Headin back up hopefully next week we have one more tag to fill

Trying to upload more pics

Gonna have a nice rug

Beautiful bear

Huge claws, 1/4 of his ear was gone and a chunk missing from his tounge. Both were old battle scars

No we finally got to use some hounds and it paid off big. Wanted to take advantage of the dogs before they are outlawed

That is a nice bear. Too bad dog hunting for them is going away soon.
