Title: NE corner boar down!!!
Post by: johnnyaustin44 on May 06, 2013, 06:18:05 PM
Got this guy last night around 6:30. Walking an old logging road at the bottom of a cut by a creek. Rounded a corner and he was 50 in front of he head down feeding away. Got broadside and let the 270 wsm sing. First shot he hunched up and spun a 180 and the second shot dropped him before he took another step.  Very happy times

Only had to pack him around 400 yards to the truck but it was a flat grade which was a nice change of pace for getting a bear out of the woods.

That bear's coat is absolutely beautiful.    :tup:  All the bears I've been seeing in the NE are pretty raggedy looking.  What elevation were you, around 4000 ft?

Also, thanks for saving my NE corner fawns    ;)

I'd say around 2500 ft elevation. No problem on the fawns.

We figured around 250 to 275. His head doesn't fit his body that well.

Post by: wazzu99 on May 08, 2013, 02:13:47 PM
My boar from a few years ago was the same way.  Long winters up there, they drop a lot of weight while in there dens!  I bet he was pushing 400 lbs when he denned up last fall.

Yeah he was big for sure. I tried to keep a low guess because I know how deceiving bears are with weight.

They are a sweet gun! Then again I love anything sako lol.

What bullet you shooting? I run the 140g accubond in mine.
Title: Re: NE corner boar down!!!
Post by: johnnyaustin44 on May 09, 2013, 03:39:28 PM
Same bullet. 140 grain accubond. Really did a number to this bears insides. Don't think I'll shoot any different bullets after that.

They are amazing I have taken 30+ big game animals with accubonds and they have never let me down. If I remember right 9 of them have been with my A7 and the 140g accubond. I run them in a lot of my guns. They shoot great and they sure dump a lot of energy into the animals. The only thing is they do tend to blood shot a lot of meat if you hit really solid stuff like a shoulder.

Title: Re: NE corner boar down!!!
Post by: johnnyaustin44 on May 09, 2013, 07:16:17 PM
Oh yeah that's for sure. Lost most of both shoulders on the bear. But he didn't run away. Good with me.

Huge bear and beautiful coat! Can't wait til August. You're a lot braver than I am, bear hunting and posing beside a dead bear with a black shirt on. I wear camo but as soon as the animal is down I pull out the blaze orange hat and flags. Don't mean to preach but it's not fun getting shot at and you've got a long life ahead of you. Let us know the size of the head on that beast as I'd say he makes book. Congratulations!
Title: Re: NE corner boar down!!!
Post by: johnnyaustin44 on May 11, 2013, 06:48:46 PM
I know what your saying. Thanks for looking out. I always try to never wear black when bear hunting but I had just came from work and it was all I had. I'll be sure to let everyone know the size.
