Got her with less then 2 minutes of legal light, she's no monster but she's way bigger then the 2 year old I shot last year (it was my first one).
I would call it a perfect heart shot.

After calling for a little over an hour we could hear at least three different bears below and to our left but they held up about the time the darn thermo cline started pushing our sent down hill. After we couldn't get the grunts to come any closer we decided to call it a day. Well last minute thinking I said, "lets walk to the other side of that little thicket and glass before we get out of here". We came around the corner of the little thicket and there she was 40 yards away digging, a 180 grain Accubond out of my 300 win knocked her down about 4 feet from where I shot her. It was the quickest I've ever seen a big game animal die in person.

sweet bear! do you still have your 250r?

atc250r18 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:37:30 PM »

Thanks, and yes, I've had it since 96, bought it from the original owner when I was 15. An 85’ runs a pretty penny for a 15 year old. I break it out when it snows or for the semi decade Oregon trip.
