My 2009 Bear (with footage)
« on: March 18, 2010, 09:44:21 PM »
Well, I figured I would take some of the heat off of Machines with his "baby bear" . This is a video of the bear I shot last year. I will admit that it was a little ground shrinkage and poor judgement on my part. I have shot many bears...this being the smallest by far. I knew he was smaller but thought he was more like 150-160lbs rather than like 110lbs. Though, this is one less fawn killer and tree peeler in my opinion. He filled my tag and my freezer (well maybe didn't FILL my freezer) but I'm happy. He was at about 385 when I shot him. It also didn't help I had my cousin behind me telling me he was big enough.

I also posted a video in the deer forum of the day after in the same clear cut....came across a couple nice blacktail bucks.
Feel free to rip me apart.....it's all part of the game.

Enjoy

Nice shot. I have yet to get one or see one, but enjoyed watching one go down. Thanks for getting the heart pumping this morning

Cool footage and a great shot.  I think we have all misjudged bears, they are tough to judge.  I even misjudged the distance on a bear once because of his size.  Shot under him.  When I saw his tracks I realized how big he was and why I thought he was closer... 
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Nice shot!!

I will admit to shooting one that was less that 150lbs on time. I went into a thicket after a big one. A bear stood up and all I could see was his chest, I knew it was now or never. I was sure there was only one. I shot. He fell like a ton of bricks. 30 seconds later I  heard crashing and out came the bear I went in after about 300 yards away.  :bash: Oh well, It was a cool cinnamon that I shot.

Very nice footage, and great shot!!! 8)  This looks like the sultan basin area. Am i correct?
