West side chocolate down!
« on: August 10, 2015, 06:44:43 AM »
After having a close envounter with a sow and cub saturday morning I decided to try a new spot.  I was able to drive into the clearcut and spent most of the afternoon looking for sign.  Wasn't much so I drove a road and ended up down in the bottom of the clearcut with some decent sign around.  I decided to park my truck right there at the end of the road knowing my wife was pretty exhausted.  I left her in the truck and told her to watch the area and I would be back in about an hour.  I started noticing more fresh sign and finally headed back for the truck.  I wanted to get my wife set up for a good chance.  As I got in view of the truck I could see my wife moving pretty frantically inside ao I threw my binos up as she looked back at me and started signaling there was something below the truck.  As I moved closer I saw the bear she told me to shoot it as she didnt have a good shot.  I layed down got a good rest and dropped him at 110 yards with my 7mm Mag.  First bear!  I think the best part was having my wife screaming you got him he is down from about 60 yards away.  It is the first kill she has ever been a part of.

Why do you only send me pictures of dead bears and your ugly mug in them?  Now a pretty girl in camo with a dead bear that's what I'm talking about.

Congrats!  Good read, well told, extra special to have your wife along.   Looks like beautiful color on that bear.  Love the dark chocolates.
