I'm new to the forum but thought even tho this is from a couple years ago it would still be enjoyed, this is a bear I took in southern Wyoming during the Fall 2013 season, it was also my first bear I've ever taken. It was a sow that aged out to 10.5 years old. I decided to have it rugged and thought it turned out awesome! I do think there is some advantage ($) to shooting shorter bears when having them rugged.
