Wow.  That's a lot of bear, especially at 27 yards.  Good for her.

Likely at least 10 times her weight.  :yike: Well done. If I see a bear 10X my weight, I'm never going back into the woods again.l

Wow, she's either brave beyond belief or just young.  If I was 27 yards from that thing, I would certainly would be in the market for a new pair of pants.

A buddy of mine sent me pics of that monster.  That's a wow.  He knows her gramps well.  My hometown is 5 miles from hers.  At her age, her parents must have started applying for her possibly when she was born, given how long it takes to draw there.  I've been on a couple hunts there with guys who killed some absolute bruisers.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Taken with an AR style rifle no less... That's enough to burn the left as is.
I thought the left screams that there's no use for the AR in hunting? I wonder what chambering her gun is in?

Bottom line:  A LOT of hunting success has to do with being in the right place at the right time.  Doing everything right does not fill a tag if you're in the wrong place or at the wrong time.  The stars aligned for her and Grandpa.  I would love to hear an interview from Grandpa detailing what he thought when that angus size bear stepped out at spitting range!

I can just vision her posting for next year's bear season.

"Hunted hard with 'pa over the past two weeks. Saw a few 500 to 600 pounders, but nothing big worth a punching a tag on."
