First Bear Down!!!! Pictures added.

Did you get one today Bowman?  I got one myself tonight.  I think we broke the ice now.
Yeah, I shot the bear this evening! Hopefully we broke the ice

Hiked down an old logging road and found this sow feeding on grass.  My shoes were squeeking  so I took them off and snuck around the corner after her.  I shot the bear at about 75 yards.  The best part was my dad was with to see me shoot my first. I hunted hard last summer but never connected.

Now it's time to do my homework.... I have class at 7:30 in the morning

I like the color on that one. That is a very similiar bear to one my wife and I saw a few weeks ago. Congrats and don't let those chances with the old man slip away.

well done
Of sorrow and sickness I've known on my way,
But I'm old and I'm nervis,
I'm cast from the Service,
And all I deserve is a shillin' a day.

Good job, and looks like you used an A-bolt also,,, :tup:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
