My first bear after 8 years of buying tags and only seeing three.

Every time I was in one spot, he’d show up on camera at my other spot. This went on for a few days. My mom said he must have had cams on me and decided to play with my mind. After seeing him on cams for a week while was away, coming back and playing cat and mouse for three days, I was mad at the bear. Yesterday I sat for half the day hoping to catch him in his pattern, and of course he deviated. I never saw him in person since he was at my other spot for a few minutes and there’s no way to get their quickly. Looking back through cams I saw he like to be in one spot regularly between 8am-9am. So on a few hours of sleep, I was there shortly after 6am. At 6:33am he took a 300WM 180gr Accubond to the heart and into a rear quarter that spun him 180 degrees, then he let out two death rattles. That was a sound I’ll never forget.

it's pretty nice and is at the taxidermist being turned into a rug.  Almost forgot as I was skinning a yote popped out and I let him have some 270wsm as well.
