As some of you know I've been after a bear, well Sat afternoon as I was sitting in my favorite spot & here he comes not a great bear but a nice coat & all I did was to snap pics on my phone. Now I have 2nd thoughts I don't know I would like a little bigger one for a rug. What do you guys think?
it's a little fuzzy

You can always upgrade and have a matching set
. Smaller ones are easier to drag

I'm afraid the temptation would have been more than I could BEAR.................
I would shoot.

Looks like a decent bear...only you know that answer 30-30...personally I have no desire to shoot a Bear...but they do get the heart pumping when you see one...thanks for sharing the pic...

Very cool to have an encouter like that I'm sure. Me personally the only thing I would have thought about is the taxidermy bill.
As they say good things come to those that wait.

The ears do look big, but I don't know if I could have heals back. I've been wanting to get into bear hunting for the past couple years now. If you don't get a second chance this year, it will be bigger next season.
