This photo is neither BSA related nor a successful hunt. This me in 1979 on a Black Bear hunt in Vermont. Gun is an S&W M29 8-3/8" .44 Magnum. Our timing was a bit late as there had been a real cold snap (icicles over 2 feet long hanging off the hut roof) and the bears had gone into hibernation early. I wasn't with an outfitter, just a couple of mates who lived in the next state (Massachussets) and had a hunting lodge in Vermont.
