Finally took a boar.
« on: September 01, 2021, 10:38:19 AM »
On about the 12th of hunting and finding no fresh bear sign, I finally took a color phase boar.
After about 2 hours of sitting, which included about 45 minutes of calling, I took a walk to get warmed up.  On my way back, I found this chocolate bear heading toward me.  It looked as if he may have come to my call then continued up the game trail.  I knelt then shot him with a Bighorn Armory Model 89 at about 8:15 a.m. and he didn't take a step.

Poor guy never saw me but I feel he got even when I had to pack him out in pieces.  That goodness I had someone to help me.

Thanks.  Here is a close-up of those blonde hairs on his back.  I've been calling them 'guard hairs'.  Is that correct?

Awesome bear taken with an awesome rifle!  Congrats!

Gary
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset
