Nice Bear, great luck and a good shot....he's dead ain't he!....As far as all the other bs....I agree with Graybeard and several others. Ethics about what shot you take, what you do with the meat etc is up to the hunter and the local laws. Mice ? Lets see, sounds like one for the recipe forum.....Mice omelet...sauteed mouse meat, wild onions, pepperjack cheese, sliced mushrooms.....get the pictrue there Dusty..... Demonical, did you have a scope on your rifle, hope not, cause that just ain't fair. And hey, what about that magnum, why do you need such as large caliber for a little ole black bear....use a knife like Danny Boone....Then again, guess I am a bad boy for hunting deer with the use of Dogs when I lived in Louisiana, just cause it was legal and a long standing custom for most hunters in the area.....Come on guys, Looks like a great bear to me....congrats are in order, not whinnnnnnninng
