Preliminaries:
Each black bear fur variation means a value:

- Multiple shots on the same black bear are allowed. However, you can not shot the same bear with weapons from different categories (e.g. wounding a black bear with "Parker Python" Compound Bow and finishing it with Tenpoint Carbon Fusion Crossbow is OK, but finishing it with .300 Bolt Action Rifle is not).
- After submitting and checking of the hunt, player will see a list with black bears and "card" equivalences and has to choose the best 5 "cards" poker hand. The chosen hand will be the competition entry.

I thought I'd put stancomputerhunter and Radamus on the example trophies since it's the closest they'll come to winning one ;)
