Title: busted by a bear tonight
Post by: sled on September 04, 2012, 10:55:54 PM: Got busted by a bear feeding 20 feet off a road tonight. It was feeding in blackberries downhill when i was beside it. It took off down the hill. I was able to get the rifle up and catch him in a couple small openings but just didnt feel like a good shot so i passed. Not a big one but could have been my first. :bash:
First bear i have seen this year.
