LOL! He even fell into a surface spring to keep him cooled off. Gutted, packed out, cut up, and sitting on ice by 11;00!

Would you mind sharing elevation, vegitation, and terrain? I hope that's not breaking the rules.

Was at 4000 I would guess. The chokes are just starting to ripen and bears starting to ravage them. Country is pretty dense and steep. 180 gr Trophy Bonded from my 300 Ultra at 15 yards..no such thing as overkill I guess?. hole in/hole out, quick deathbawl, and it was all over.

Really, no time in the day to get over there and chase them. And one bear in the freezer is enough. Need to save room for that elk in a couple of weeks!
