7mm08 barks (bear down)

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

~ ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”
Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.
One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.
