Thanks guys!  Pretty pumped! It was 6 foot nose to tail and 7 foot wingspan on the front paws. I knew the bear was in the area,  a few friends had seen it before season. Went up there Wednesday and he was in the bottom of the draw and took off towards the thick stuff as soon as I saw him. And for some reason he stopped at around 250 to wrestle an alder before he went into the reprod and I hammered him!  Never took a step with the 257 wby mag. Quartered him and skinned him and back home by 1 am!

good jump on bears this year it seems more are dropping this year than past? Nice bears.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Walked out onto a landing Monday evening about 7:30pm and heard this guy right below us eating berries. Couple minutes later he stepped out and gave me a 75 yard shot. Quick clean kill, quartered and packed out to the truck at 1:50am. He's a nice boar and I couldn't have been more happy with him. This pack out could not have been done without my good buddy who went through sticker bush hell with me to get him out.
