First Bear Down!
« on: August 02, 2014, 09:51:55 AM »
Well I woke up early this morning and grabbed my gun and looked up and seen the memorial patch for my good friend Emerson and I grabbed it and put it in my pack for good luck....he was a big gun nut ....he loved shooting and I always wanted to get him out hunting but he never did...he lost his life earlier this year so I wanted to bring him on at least one hunt with me and hope he would give me good luck and boy did it pay off...10 min. Into my hunt I could hear somthing moving around and then I spotted her tearing a tree apart...she played hide and seek for about 15 min so I snuck into 75 yds..I thought she was moving into the timber so I reached into my pocket for the call rain shadow gave me when I got a knife from him but didn't have to blow it she came out and stood broadside....one shot from the weatherby and she did a Summersault and ran into some thick nasty brush and she went silent after 75 yds...I waited for the death moan but nothing...I snuck up to the last place I seen her and found blood and lungs and a nice trail to follow and the rest is history....my buddy gave me the good luck I needed and I got my first bear.....thanks buddy RIP emerson

Emerson is looking down and proud; not for the kill necessarily but you took the time to remember him.

Cool story, thanks for sharing and congrats!
