Had some pto to burn, so I took Fri. off and headed for the blue hucks. It was pretty socked in and slow for the first few hours, but at about 9 it started to break up. We were watching a pretty nice buck at about 800 yards when the bear fed its way out between us. I got set up for the shot and watched em for about half an hour.  The bear and fog finally cooperated and I had a good clear broadside shot and took it. At just over 400 yards the bear crumpled without moving a mussle or doing the ol' bear bawl. I was lucky to have a few buddies hunting in the area who gave me a hand with the drag-thankfully because it was a tough one...I was shooting 165gr out of a 300wsm. By the way, dont think that I was just wing'n lead 400yds, I practice with my rifle allot

Nice bear.  400+ is a hell of a long shot..

nice bear, congrats

[callonetta]

I was just wondering about the caliber because I like to know what other people shoot. I shoot the same setup!, 165gr, Nosler Accubonds in my 300wsm.
Great shot bud!!!!!

Cool always good to see a few more bears being harvested.  It started out fairly slow this season for most.

[Dean44]

Now that is a real beaut, and the bear is nice too!

Seriously, you are quite modest to call that an average bear.

Congratulations.

[strutnrut1984]

nice bruin

[Sideswipe]

Yeah an average bear somewhere else maybe.  I'm still bragging about my last year's bear & I think your's could eat him.  Way cool.  I concur w/the other comments.....STORY!
