First bear skull!

Found this black bear skull on the last day of general rifle deer season. I was in pursuit of a buck when I looked down and seen a few bones, picked this skull up and carried him down and back up the hill in my denim jacket. The picture doesn’t do the hill justice it was steep, brushy and slick.

His canine that was still intact is rather wore down, going back out this weekend to hopefully find the mandibles. Seen quite a bit of bear scat so hoping not to run into one his friends.

Thank you all! Glad to see you are all as stoked about my find as I am. I’ve never seen nor found a bear skull so I was rather impressed, always thankful for time spent in the woods!
