Bear down! (updated with extended video - and pic)
« on: October 09, 2011, 09:53:41 AM »
Alecvg got a bear yesterday.  More to come later.

Hopefully this will tie you over.  No pics of bear+hunter since Alec hasn't learned to use his self timer yet.  I have A LOT of video to go through but I am going to post a video of the hunt hopefully this evening.  Until then, here's a pic of the bear.  We estimate her at about 150-175 pounds which was a good thing since we were 8 miles in.  She was a greyish-brown color phase.  Only bear we saw all day after covering a lot of prime country!

Not my fault, Alec is the one with all the bear pics!  He's just slow with this whole computer thing!   ;)

Well done.  I wish I was a part of it!  Get some meat variety so I can sample.
