My first Washington spring bear down, successful solo 2 day weekend warrior hunt, and second time in the permit area which was my second choice. Spotted this bear this bear at 9 am after a short hike from camp, 330 yards down across the draw, excited + not going to be picky with limited hunting time (family & work), one shot at little over 300 yards, dead on impact with the 220 grain Hornady ELD-X out of my 300 RUM, and one heavy pack out trip back to camp by 12:30. Made it back home late Saturday night and my girlfriend had all the meat cut up Sunday morning. Headed to the taxidermist to rug it so my girlfriends cinnamon bear rug will have a friend and will enjoy the memory of my first spring bear.
