Get out!  Shut the front door!  What you taking 'bout Willis! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Some might not think you should be proud of that bear since you didn't walk far enough from the road.  Don't you know that distance traveled on foot in your Sitka or Kuiu beyond where the animals are to a place only mountain goats roam is the only way you can truly call yourself a real hunter and be proud of any trophy you shoot?  Next time you will be smarter and put on your camo, place your Kifaru back pack behind you and tell a story of how you were so far back into the high country that you had to eat half the bear before getting to the truck just to replace the calorie burned in transport. Only then would that be a nice bear :tung:

Did I happen to mention...Wow!  What an August bear! :tup:

I wish I had a good story to tell about how hard I worked for it and how far back he was in and the long stalk, but the truth is we took a little drive before dark just to get out and see if there is any activity. With my hunting clothes on and my romeos we set off to enjoy an evening drive and saw this guy was crossing an open hill side above the road on the way to our glassing spot. The rest is kinda history from there, I got lucky and was able to harvest a great bear road hunting, yes I said ROAD HUNTING!! I have put on many miles bear hunting but in August I tend to stay pretty close to the rig. I dont plan on packing very far in this heat.

He soaked up a couple 210 grain VLD like a champ and the rest is history, 180 yards up hill. He is already at the taxi. and the meat is almost done and processed.
