For the last couple months my neighbor has had a big Bear destroying her apple trees so she insisted I hunted her 85 acres and remove the problem bear. After hunting this bear off and on for the last week's with no luck. Finally a couple evenings ago he slipped up and showed himself with a few minutes a shooting light left. As I walked between my garage and house I looked up and seen him under a big Apple tree. I snuck to within 20 yards of him.
Made good shot with a 162gr sst and he took off into some dense reprod. After a few minutes I didn't hear any sort of death moan and it sounded like he had covered alot of ground. So i decided to let him sit over night before heading into a possible dangerous situation.
In the morning I walked back and started tracking him only to find out here's went about 100ft from where I shot him.
Took a few pictures trying to show this bears true size and no picture does it justice.
It took 3 of us to barely get this bear into a Nissan Frontier. Glad I didn't have a full size truck haha.
