Another good write up Shane. What I really appreciate is your honesty. You put it all out there and that takes a lot of guts. Things don't always go perfectly, that's life. Using a gun you never shot, the 4 misses, those are things that most hunters have experienced but they usually don't end up in their stories. Plus they are good learning experiences. I'll bet you will spend some time at the range with Ryan's fun before your next hunt! Lol congrats bud, thanks again for taking us along on your adventure.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

You definitely have that right.  I won't be shooting his gun again without spending more time at the range.  The truth is anyone who has hunted a number of times before knows that mistakes, errors, and misses happen.  It's part of the hunt and I don't see any reason to cover up that part of the story.

Wow what a adventure :tup:  That is a great bear, are you going to get it rugged out or mounted?
