Title: First Bear
Post by: BUCKSHOT on October 31, 2008, 11:09:55 PM: So I got my first bear!! Was chasing some deer and there she was sitting on a stump back to me at 150 yards. I was so jacked!! Not a big one (looked way bigger sitting on its butt) but was kinda chocolate colored so that was super cool.

I have not taken a bear and wish I would of taken him now. I had not seen many bears in the wild and assumed they would be huge. How much did yours weigh ? The one I saw was over a hundred I would guess but not by much. I watched him for 45 minutes, very exciting. He saw my montana elk decoy and arched up like a cat and hopped around huffing at it. Good job and congrats again. Mike

Looked way bigger when I shot at it. I've seen about 12 over the last 5 years and down around sw washington they all have been about the same size.

Take care of the meat & it tastes different, but as good as venison. Got some friends & neighbors who aren't excited about hunt'in but give then some scrambled egg w/some slices of bear meat & they're believers! If you can take a bear then you are a hunter, they're not easy to take. Congratulations. I'm expecting a good bear story next year.
