long story short... spotted my bear, only going to shot it if it gave me a great shoot and it did.  wind on my back, walked straight at it. let me get within 70 yards, threw backpack over rock took rest POW double lunger.   looked up the hill and here's this big boy checking *censored* out. motioned my buddy up the hill. he takes a rest damn near on the same rock, POW. drills it.  rolls down the hill stop 50 yards from mine.   never happen like that again.    mine   160-180    his   300 - 350
