Post by: mountainman on August 14, 2013, 02:19:09 PM: LOL! He even fell into a surface spring to keep him cooled off. Gutted, packed out, cut up, and sitting on ice by 11;00!

Post by: mountainman on August 14, 2013, 02:20:00 PM: He is #25, and by far the quickest hunt thus far!

Was at 4000 I would guess. The chokes are just starting to ripen and bears starting to ravage them. Country is pretty dense and steep. 180 gr Trophy Bonded from my 300 Ultra at 15 yards..no such thing as overkill I guess?. hole in/hole out, quick deathbawl, and it was all over.

You have to take the easy ones once in a while. I'm still waiting for my easy bear, they always lead to lots of work for me.

Idea, go to the western side.
Title: Re: This mornings bear.
Post by: mountainman on August 17, 2013, 08:47:28 PM: Really, no time in the day to get over there and chase them. And one bear in the freezer is enough. Need to save room for that elk in a couple of weeks!
