First Bear!

[d-rock]

Nice Job on your first!  Way better to get your first Scope kiss on a kill than on a miss.  You do realize that you are probably spoiled for life now though, bears don't usually come out to play every time you go out looking for them.

Great job!

[Ripper]

Awesome, now you're hooked.

[Robcat-Bobcat]

I am hooked on bear hunting now, it was an awesome trip, so much fun!  When we get the slug cleaned up I'll have to put a picture of it up.  Those two guys helped me a lot, definetly a blast!  And the scope kiss does add to the memory! Thanks again everybody, I wish you all luck in your own bear and all other hunts!
They did make me drink the blood though...
no, not really.

Hey robcat why don't you tell them about the dieing quivers.

[Robcat-Bobcat]

  This was unheard of to me until Saturday... No dying quivers for me thank you very much haha

With hundreds of animals over the last 30 years my first bear still reigns as my high point.  That's when I knew I could beat the mosquitos, keep my drawers dry under stress and master the shot.  It's going to be a fun ride from here on out.

You guys must be some tough SOB's to Indian pole that thing off the hill.  We tried that with a bear and a deer when I was young and naive.  Thought I was going to loose the whole right side of my body each time.  Plus, the amount of unkind words being thrown around between the two of us was definitely unprofessional.  It's got to be done at least once though.  An experience to start the rest of your hunting life.

I'm extremely happy for you.  Congratulations!!!

I packed out one bear on a pole about three miles once and never ever again.. my buddy was whinning he wanted it whole and when we got to the truck my shoulders were raw ... I do not think twice about now .. skin it - bone it and off ya go 

[Robcat-Bobcat]

Thank you RadSav!  I appreciate it, it's definetly a extremly high point for me, very happy.  Couldn't have done it without h20 and D-Rock, Indian poling that bear up the hill I shot him on and then down the mountain was a job I'll never forget, but so satisfying when we got him down and in the truck.  It wore us out 

[Robcat-Bobcat]

My shoulder was so tired at the end of that, I'd definitely be ok if we skinned him first next time haha.

Sissy.....I only needed one hand on that thing all the way down the hill......hmmmm.....kids these days are just soft I guess?

[bearmanric]

[D-Rock425]

That's right we be some tough SOB'S

[Robcat-Bobcat]

I two-handed it down the mountain but I did have the back pack with tripod on...

   A real man would have just made a back pack out of it and did it themselves.

Just when I thought I was THE man for getting my first bear
