Bear down for the willapa hills. went out at 5:45 this morning checked a couple of berry patches herd on bear down in the bottom but never could get a look at him. came back in had some lunch, screwed around for a while. me and a buddy headed back out at 5:00pm to check the same areas the last clear cut we check we saw a bear all the way a crossed the canyon on the road i fired the first shot and missed ranged at 303 yds the bear ran down the clear cut my buddy shot and hit him done deal. went down after the bear turned out to be a small bear only about 100lbs be his first bear. i just got him in the cooler about 10mins ago it was a long drive out and a hell hole to get him out of. so for a first day not too bad.
Disapointed?That is more action then most will have, including myself. At least you didn't get hosed by brushpickers.
Saw 2 bears this morning and tried to get set up on a decent one tonight but someone shot down the hill and he moved into the timber, We saw 5 bear today and some elk hope to get closer tomorrow we are in a restricted area and using muzzle loaders. Needed Rick or Rasbo to call them in a little closer. Thought about trying to call but did;nt want to scare them off if it does;nt work.
too ashamed to post on this one
If I didn't have scope covers, or shanevg had a round in the chamber, we would have a bear down... at 5 yards. Oh well, got the rest of season, had a great day out.
