I wanted to kill this one today. Pulled a cam and set it on top of the lock box. Came back after a few hours of shed hunting and had to look for the camera in the dirt and debris. (yes the date is off by about six years: cheap cam)
Heading out May 6th for our annual spring bear camp. Hopefully kill eight to ten moose calf eaters.

Bou Bound... exactly. Post em up. All of them!
From: JL
09-May-19
Bou, if the successful hunter posts on their harvest pic on the outfitter threads above and then here...it's redundant. By not posting their pic on the above outfitters thread, you're taking a little advertising and recognition opportunity from that particular outfitter who may be a BS sponsor....unless you make the successful hunter mention the outfitter in their post here....or the outfitter has to do it himself. Otherwise, the recognition for the outfitter gets diminished or lost. Plus the above outfitters have hunters who are not BS members so they won't post their pics here....unless the above outfitters go back and do it. The outfitters that do run threads here do a great job for their clients, BS members and the site....why not let them get the undivided recognition? I'm putting myself in the outfitters shoes....they go thru the trouble of starting and running their threads before the season even starts and then they have put the "money shot" here after the season starts!?? Under that idea...why should they even start up their threads? IMO...let them have their own threads and DIY-ers and/or other unlisted outfitters here.....at least that seems the logical simple way to do it. My 2-cent observation.
From: Bou'bound
09-May-19
JL - there is no Bowsite policy against posting the same picture twice in different places. Heck, Mike U. just did it and proved it is possible. Gotta love that Canadian ingenuity.
I just want to get more on here than last year's 238 and know that Chris, Mike, Alexis, Tom, and Dave as outfitters can be a big chunk of that.
From: JL
09-May-19
Bou, Mike did it because you told him too as you did others. No worries though....just something I noticed over the last few years I thought might be a little counterproductive from an organizing and outfitters perspective. All is cool.....
From: Ibow
09-May-19
I agree JL... While it’s nice to pull up this success thread each year and see all the guys/gals with their bears, these guys like Alexis Desjardins, Chris from Pine Acres, Ukrainitz, Craig from North Mountain in MB and so on have all they can do each day to manage their outfitting businesses and to make sure their hunters get the bear of their dreams - which they always seem to do. These guys get very little time to sleep & eat this time of year. I’m happy they take the time to do their own threads. The success thread is nice - nice pics but each day when I check in, I go to the outfitter’s threads first.

Just back and leaving again tomorrow. For the first time, I didn't kill one or two bears on this annual trip. Had one shot opportunity and blew it. Saw an average of about twenty bears a day but few shooters. More grizzlies than I’ve ever seen! Kurt keeps stats, so maybe he’ll post that. Don’t have pics of one bear yet.

From: Ambush

Some big skulls pictured here!! Most of the bears we kill in northern BC seem to have short muzzles, which robs about 1” plus of measurement. I can’t break the magical 20”.
Kota, that second bear looks long in the face. Southern BC bear?
From: kota-man
19-May-19
Yes Ambush...Southern BC along the Fraser. The bears there seem to be long in the body and the skulls match. Funny, the bears I shoot in Manitoba are short and fat, and their skulls match, being very wide in general. These BC bears are LONG bodied and their skulls are also long but much narrower.
From: rattling_junkie
19-May-19
Kota-man, where are you hunting in Manitoba? The western edge seems to produce bears with long skulls and big ears. Eastern Manitoba bears generallyhave the short wide heads.
From: Ambush
19-May-19
Area genetics seem to decide what you get, predominately. I didn’t start measuring skulls until I started bow hunting them, but I don’t know if any of the many dozens I killed with a gun before that would have dried up to be 20”. When I started killing bears, we got five tags and I also killed nuisance bears. Our local biologist was pretty adamant that if we hunted moose, we had better be killing bears too.
I may have to go to one of the Big Head areas to finally get a 20”.

One thing these bear thread will show you is that you can't judge a bear's skull size by looking at a kill picture. I'm pretty familiar with bears and some of these I'd be out 1 1/2 to 2 inches!
Some monster bears represented here! Congrats to all.

While I've been busy with bear camp, my son and wife took care of their own sites. Luke passed up a very good boar about 2 weeks ago and I told him he may regret it. Late last week I was able to sit next to him when this bear walked in! He has no regrets!! His third, and largest bear so far! Perfect shot, 30 yard recovery, happy kid, and proud dad!

I didn't post up my bear because TSOV already did and I didn't want to double up on the counts Bou has going.
