Great bear Dave! But I rather liked the warning shot approach; it gave the bear a fighting chance.

Todd,,,  did you read my story?  Did I mention even firing a shot?  Mine just gave up when I showed my pistol.   I have been waiting all day to be able to post that.  Now the real story I used my .338-06 at 206yd.  Instant dirt nap nary a wiggle.  I did have a great time by myself not often I get a chance like that.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Well, Dave, I did.  But did you read my story?  I was the one that gave the warning shot.  :chuckle:  So, I thought your warning shot on a Wenaha bear was a pretty pertinent comment.

Todd,  I loved your story and the"warning shot" stuck with me. That is why I worked out my story before I had even located a bear. My season was spent alone and I really enjoyed it.  I thought my bear giving up without a shot fired went well with your story.

You however worked much harder than I did on the pack out.  I rode my horse to the bear and a really good mule packed it all for me.
