Decent Bear Down !!!
« on: October 12, 2015, 12:51:50 PM »
Well OL Bh45 has been working way to much but guess I can not complain . Not that I need to kill anymore bears but as I looked off a landing looking for a spot for my wife to kill another big blacktail come next weekend my eyes instantly focused on a black spot about 275 yrds down the hill .

Of course I walked out to the landing without my gun ...HAHAHA.. Within a minute it starts to move . I scramble back to the truck and grab my 300 WSM ... I throw a couple shells in it and run back to the landing ..There he is feeding below me .. I think about it for a minute then he turns toward me . I see a Big White Patch and decision made . I lay on the landing with a pretty good rest . He starts moving to the right . He stops ..I put the crosshair dead center of his shoulder .. Poooooow !  Flop ! That quick ! Sweeeeeeeeeeet !

Sorry for such a short story but it ended that quick....But it was fun for as long as it lasted !   Now just need my old lady to whack a Big Blacktail and I will be happy ! And I think I found her the spot !

Great job, that is one nice bear!  If I had known I would have stopped and help you backpack it out.  :chuckle:
