My First Bear Down!!!!
« on: August 27, 2008, 12:34:13 PM »
Went out yesterday Evening for a quick trip to look where I had seen a bear on Sunday.  Didn't even make it that far.  About 1 mile onto the logging road found this little guy walkin down the road.  Didn't make the best shot (in the back side).  He ran down the hill and dissapeared into the thick stuff.  Tracked for about and hour and finally found him in a swampy area.  Another 2hrs to drag him back up the hill to the truck.  Sorry for the blurry pics, but the camera didn't take too well in the dark.

NICE WHITE CHEST

tHAT would be a good one for full body or half body
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

I already have it caped out for a head/chest mount.  I will wait for a "big" bear for a full rug mount.

How long did you wait to see if there was momma around before you shot?

That is a cool looking bear and it looks to me like his head is pretty big proportionally to his body, boar I assume?

Yep, it's a boar.  Head and feet did seem pretty big.  No mama bear to be found in the area.
