Crowinghen gets it done
« on: August 31, 2015, 08:39:06 PM »
Crowinghen and I have been into 4 bears the last 3 days and until today we could not get it done . There has been one malfunction after another.Today we post up on a berry patch , after about 3 hours my wife sees a blonde bear that we came across Saturday , but she loses site of it in the brush so we move down the ridge line to get a better view and hopefully a closer shot . We watch the area for about an hour and he is just not showing himself . We start to gab a little when out of the corner of my eye I catch movement coming off the top of the hill . It's another bear , my wife leans down on a stump and readies herself . She waited for the perfect shot and took it . 125 yards with her 243 , the bear took 5 step and dropped .It was an awesome shot . Hanging weight at the butchers was 179 , maybe around 250 live weight . We have been hunting for about 4 years now and this is her first kill . She is stoked and I'm stoked for her .
