RIFLE SEASON BULLS..PA

[Flatbow]

MaN I shure hope they are rendering all that fat off those Bears. So many good uses for it besides just being the best cooking grease you can find and there is a ton of it there! WOW AGAIN!

I shot a problem bear on the Valle Vidal in NM one spring. She had broken into the Taos ski valley, and should have been put down. She had taveled about 200 miles since her release, and I don't believe she hibernated. She had 4" of fat on her back. I assume that is unusual for a spring bear. Best meat ever. And yes, I rendered the fat.

I've had oryx, elk, aoudad, and javelina hang around after a kill. If the animal drops and dies right away, they sometimes think it just laid down.

Holy big bear! That one caught one in the snout!!!

Plenty wild, imagine harvesting the herd bull in front of all his ladies..cow kill was only 50% of the issued tags.

Just a swag but I'D guess that a goodly share of the cow tag holders did it on their own not guided eh?

Thanks again for all the incredible pictures Frank.

Beautiful bulls no doubt. But do you see that herd standing behind the hunter in the next to last photo? That surely is not free range public land...........

Like I've always said, there is a ton different kinds of elk hunts out there.....

You would never see that where I hunt elk, that photo just blows my mind.
