Couldnt hold out any longer
« on: September 09, 2010, 06:49:30 AM »
So i was really holding out for a color phase bear this year but with archery elk nearing I knew I would be switching gears. Had a good year for bear seeing 20, this one coming towards the end. It was time to fill a tag or probably not get one this year so down he went. He fed out of the timber at about 700yds. and after about 45min of closing some ground I shot him at about 225 yds. He's a boar and weighed in at about 175lbs.
