With all that walking I'll bet you thought that you might have a delivery on the way!  Awesome, the Davy Crockett killing a bear when he was 3 doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore...

We hiked down to a cliff overlooking a clearcut that we've had good luck before on bears.  As soon as we started glassing the unit I spotted a bear below us.  I ranged the bear at 185 yards and she made a perfect shot and the bear piled up within 40 yards.  It was all over so quick, I hope she doesn't think it's always gonna be that easy!  I couldn't believe she stayed so calm, must be a girl thing, I think I was more excited than she was!  She's definetely a keeper for sure!  The boar weighed in around 210 lbs

i think ill try to get the wife to kill something while she's not pregnant for a starter goal. lol
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
