willapa bear down
« on: August 12, 2011, 04:26:54 PM »
i had seen this bear twice before last night, once a few days before season and once last week. let it walk hoping to get one of my friends a shot. last night he was down in the reprod below us at about 250 yards tearing up a stump, 2 shots later he had it down. not the biggest bear but his first, probly around 5 foot, 150lbs?? older sow though, she was missing a few teeth and had some broken ones.
