You did pretty good for your first big game animal.

I was with him win he shot.  I set up the sticks for him told him to wait until he stops and turns broadside.  When the bear stop he was 75 yards away and quartered away.  I asked are you on him he gave me the yrs and I told him to shoot him right in the shoulder and down he went.

No no no no.....I was there and I stood in front of him so he could shoot off my shoulder. Once he missed the first three times I elbowed him in the head (hence the cut) to calm him down. Then, he took his final shot and connected with a texas heart shot that came out the bears nose.

Thats how it went down!

Nice job!  A scope kiss is a badge of honor.  Everyone knows what that means - first question I ask when I see someone walking around with one is "Did you get him?"

I joke and all but the boy did very well out there. Keep in mind this was his first day of big game hunting of any type. He did what you have to do...make the shot. I wish I would have been there but I was away a bit looking over different ground. I heard the boom of his -06 and then a follow up shot about 10 seconds later. I knew the first shot must have counted if the follow up wasn't very quick. When we dressed it out he did get one his slugs back which is pretty cool. I'll tell you what, this bear was hammered. No tracking needed. DRT baby! Scope kiss and all he did great out there.

We emptied the bladder, filled it with blood, and threw it at him like a water balloon. We did talk about it but never got around to making him do anything like that.
