Student surpassed her teacher but teacher still scored!

Well after my kiddo took her bear it was my turn after seeing my girls off at the airport!
I seen bears every hunt and I passed on some good ones and took a average sized bear. Completely misjudged it.
When my bear walked out I didn’t wait till he got to the barrel and shot when he was 5’ behind barrel. Mine went 140lbs. 2nd pic is a bear I should of taken 250lb sow but it was 1st day.
Taken with a S&W 460 pistol

Still a good job. Congrats!

great hunt!
I saw a bear behind my house about a week ago and even though they can be a real pain in the backside they are still very cool creatures.
way to go man !

Congrats

Great trophy and especially with a handgun. Congrats.

Good looking bear. Yep that is a big sow at the barrel, maybe next year for her.

Congrats!
