Bambi and Mark, it was a .308 150 federal fusion going 2600-2650. After taking the bear apart I think the first shot was lung/liver, second was a bad body shot, and the third shot took out the heart. I found the first bullet and it looked pretty good. Really he was dead within twenty seconds of the first shot, so I don't have any reservations about sticking with it for now.

Sytes- I'll get some sausage made, then do the rest burger and roasts. Pot roast, corned bear and cabbage, tacos, and sloppy joes for me all year.

Pagosa- generally speaking I think the fall ones taste better, but they're hit or miss anytime of year. They're incredibly fat this time of year though. One tag per year in MT.

Nice story and a great looking bear! Sorry to hear about your sore mangina but I imagine killing a bear like that makes everything better.
