After hunting at least 20 plus days this spring with my Monroe spring bear tag and 7 days this month I finally put one down yesterday morning about 8 o'clock.
I parked at the gate at daylight got my gear on and walked into a new spot I had found last Tuesday after work. I walked to the end of one road and glassed the big clear cut nothing. Then about 7:30 though I would walk down to the other end of the cut and glass some more. I got back to the main road and walked about 50 yards down it when a bear jumped out of the clear cut and into the road. She ran down the road and into the timber. So that's when I decided to chance her down. I ran down the road about 150 yards or so then started to walk. I could hear in to my left in the timber then saw her pop into and opening only 40yds away. I rested my sako 7mm08 on my tripod and shot. She barked when the bullet hit ran about 30yds and piled up.
My dad came up with a makeshift game cart an aluminum ladder and some boat wheels. It worked great both guys can grab a side and just walked her out to the truck. It was by far the quickest bear pack I have been on.
I know you guys are just like me and want to see some pics. Well I got them but I will have to get my wife to post them becouse I'm a computer dumb a$$ ass and don't know how. Oh by the way I typed this whole thing as I sit on a stump waiting for bear number 2 to show itself
