my 2015 spring bear
« on: May 14, 2015, 02:40:36 PM »
Last Saturday Killmore and I headed out for our 2015 spring bear trip. Saturday evening after we set up camp we went scouting but ended up with no bear sightings. sunday had us looking over other areas and spotting a sow w/ a cub and another very good bear that took off as soon as we spotted him. Monday morning at 7am we spotted a nice bear feeding and after glassing for cubs we decided he would be worth pursuing. after a quick stalk and a well placed shot I had my first bear. a boar with a chocolate coat. we continued hunting but weren't able to find killmore a bear but he did get his first turkey. killmore ended up finding a nice 5x5 deer skull( and yes he left it in the field). I want to thank killmore for helping me out with my first bear and being a great camp cook, hopefully we'll be back next year for another great hunt.

Beautiful bear. That'll make a great rug. Nice color.

Im usually not a fan of the chocolate bears, just prefer the look of the standard black, but that is one great looking bear. Congrats on the successful hunt.

Can't beat that for a really nice bear. Why didn't he take the deer skull ? Somebody else will.

Because not everybody has to break a law just because the next guy might. 

Nice bear be the way. Congrats on a fun trip :tup:
