My good friend shot this bruiser this week in Alberta.  They tried to weigh him but he bottomed out the 500lb limit scale they had.  He will have the skull scored after the required drying period.
The guides told him that he may be a new Alberta record.  I will update this post after the skull is scored.

whooohooo! What did he hunt with?

 

.45-70 that he bought especially for bear hunting.  He's hunted in CA for years and has had issues in the past using his .300WSM and opted for a slower and heavier bullet for the close shots at these bears.

When checking in the bear hide and the skull at the airport they weighed 90 lbs. The wildlife biologist told my buddy that in 15 years as a biologist this is the largest bear he's ever seen. He too told my buddy to make sure and get the skull scored.
