Took my cousin out to get him his 1st!
« on: August 11, 2013, 12:04:25 PM »
Took my cousin out on Thursday and he shot a pretty decent bear! Right at 300lbs. Got down 3 bears in one day! He missed a blondie in the morning and was feeling pretty bumbed and then I glassed up this one that he shot but he told me to shoot. I'm hunting with my pistol so it makes it a little more difficult. The bear was at 75 yards so it would be a easy shot with the pistol. However my cousin is 23 and hasn't shot a bear and I'm 17 and have shot quite a few. So... My cousin now has a cinnamon in the books! :)

This bear is 300 pounds. My cousin is 6'2" 250 and this bear had a gut on it that you can't see.

I am a butcher and meat cutter, this bear railed at 185lbs so you lose about 45% so field weight was pretty damn close to 300lbs

Thanks guys! And no it's not an infestation. It's called hard work and lots of scouting... Gotta get to the spots where nobody goes!

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
