Figured I'd revive this old post for an update. I got my tooth aging results back on this bear and he came in at 12 years old! I sent the teeth off to Deer Age / Whitetail Analytical Labs out in Montana. I've become a regular customer there, I think its fun and interesting to get the age...

Field Ethos has collaborated with Sauer on a rifle in 9.3 called the Exception that is super slick looking. Right around 2500-3000 in cost. I've been pondering one for myself. I think it would look sweet with one of Leica's new glossy scopes on it. I forget which model its built on, whether its...

Very cool!

What's funny about shooting this beast here in 2025, is that I just got 2023's bear back a few weeks prior and hung on the wall. Time for another!

Only problem is I've already got two rugs and a half body bear! Wife says no more bears. That's fine but we've got a buffalo on the docket for 2026 haha!

For sure! Man, imagine this fella in the fall after a summer of eating!

Thanks all! I love black bears, they're just so cool. I think my next bear will have to be brown though! I got the skull finished up today, looks like it'll finish up at 20 3/8" if there's no more shrinking. It turned out good, used the maceration method in the water bucket, then degreased and...

Hey all, Been largely quiet on here the last few months. Head down working, preparing for upcoming trips and working around the house. I was able to get out back in May and get up to a favorite place of mine, Northwestern Manitoba in the Duck Mountains region for some black bear hunting. This...

Perfect timing for me, I need to tune up my bone stock cz550 in 375.

Epic!

Nice! Man I wish IL would let us have suppressors.

heck of a trip!

The wait will be worth it I'm sure! I went to the Quigley shoot in Montana one year just for grins. We were out there on vacation. Pretty neat to watch those guys bang steel at long range with those rifles and the iron sights.
