Fall hunt this year for my first bear. Not super big, but beautiful coloring. I'm happy!

How many times did you shoot?  There isn't a single shell left in your shell holder. :yike:
Just kidding.  Great bear.

Beautiful country. I wish I had easier access to that kind of high country. Fall bears are not so easy to find over here in the Blue Mountains as it is pretty thick where the bears are hanging out in the fall. Your area looks to be more open. Bear hunting is my favorite. I am guessing you are now a member of the fraternity.
