After passing my hunters safety class I was determind to shoot a bear.Every free minute I had was spent in the woods.through august and September all i found was sign but i was having fun hiking in the woods.Mid October I spotted two bears about a mile apart but they both busted me,but the third wouldn't be so lucky.Sitting on a stump overlooking a large clearcut i spotted the bear working its way out of the timber 350 yards away.The wind was blowing hard in my face so I slowly walked down the logging road and got to about 50 yards but the bear was gone.After a few minutes it walked out from behind a small hill and i took a freehand shot dropping the bear dead mid step.
