Opening day bear - more pics
« on: August 04, 2009, 04:08:22 PM »
 I was fortunate to meet a new friend and share in his success on an incredible bear in the lewis river unit. He had an opportunity at this same bear in the same clear cut last year but was unable to connect. (I think he just wanted the bear bigger and older). He did'nt waste any time redeeming himself. He made a perfect shot at 286 yards with his .270 and hand loads. We estimated him 300 lbs or better. He was'nt but half way up to his treestand when he saw the bruin already feeding into the cut around 7 pm. Thanks Jim for the memories, thanks ILV2HNT for the invite to bear camp. We'll be sharing the same camp together again come archery elk season. Hopefully Jim will check out this site and join our forums. I'll try to post some more pics when I get some.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Nice bear.  It would have made a good rug if taken in late Oct.
