No offense taken, I didn't shoot it, I just mounted it. You shouldn't be pissed if the bear you shoot comes back as what it was on the hoof. If you take a small bear, then you get back a small bear, not a grizzly. Same with people who shoot a 2year old buck with a 17" neck and want to get back a deer with a 23" swelled up neck. Not going to happen. What you shoot is what you get back. This fellow had shot a few bigger bears in the past, and knew that this was a smaller one. The only way to fix this is, don't shoot what you would consider an inferior animal.
