N.Skagit BEAR DOWN! Story and pics added!
« on: April 27, 2011, 10:06:31 PM »
I am on my phone so I will keep this short with picture and a lot more story later, way to tired for a good write up! It was a bear hard earned. I put a stalk on him from around 800y out .1 text book shot with my new etips at about 100-120y and done deal. I killed this bear in about as nasty as hell hole as I could find. I was hunting solo but picked up my buddy Jeremy, after hiking out of hole he was in. We hiked back in got him all rugged out and meat de-honed and started the long wet pack out. Beautiful long coat, huge huge Mellon on this bear! As he lays we put him at 170-180 and that's a safe guess between 2 people who have been around a lot of bears. Very tired a lot more later and pics! A huge thanks to my buddy Jeremy for hosting and pointing me in the right direction! And packing him out of that nasty spot, which was a little crazy to shoot a bear in! lol thanks Jeremy

sweet!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Wow that sure is a nice bear!! Love the color on him!
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
