Not a GA bear but my first bear

I did not kill this one in GA but it was my first bear and wanted to share it. I killed it in Virginia on a WMA. We were deer hunting and this walked up me. Shot him at 15 yards with a T/C Omega muzzleloader. He weighed 573 pounds, measures 80 inches from nose to base of tail, 33.5 inches around his neck, and 60 inches around his chest. I am having a full body mount done, can't wait to get him back!!!
