Finally bear down.
« on: August 24, 2015, 07:08:04 AM »
After 3 weeks of hunting and a miss or two :bash: I finally punched a tag yesterday morning.  Not a big bear at all but my burger supply is running low.  Took a shot about 100yds high shoulder came out about 3 or 4 ribs back.  Bear just dropped and rolled down the hill.

A little guy who is 10 ft back sure makes a bear look big.

Great job D, now to punch the next tag... :tup:

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

A bear on a stump is worth more than a 2 bears in a bush.........or something like that. 8)

Nice job!
