Title: West side chocolate down!
Post by: huntingaddiction on August 10, 2015, 06:44:43 AM: After having a close envounter with a sow and cub saturday morning I decided to try a new spot. I was able to drive into the clearcut and spent most of the afternoon looking for sign. Wasn't much so I drove a road and ended up down in the bottom of the clearcut with some decent sign around. I decided to park my truck right there at the end of the road knowing my wife was pretty exhausted. I left her in the truck and told her to watch the area and I would be back in about an hour. I started noticing more fresh sign and finally headed back for the truck. I wanted to get my wife set up for a good chance. As I got in view of the truck I could see my wife moving pretty frantically inside ao I threw my binos up as she looked back at me and started signaling there was something below the truck. As I moved closer I saw the bear she told me to shoot it as she didnt have a good shot. I layed down got a good rest and dropped him at 110 yards with my 7mm Mag. First bear! I think the best part was having my wife screaming you got him he is down from about 60 yards away. It is the first kill she has ever been a part of.(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F08%2F10%2F9484654a429d55110346a6cc777ac4e5.jpg&hash=b4d1e3613b51b76acc1d658de7faa5fa816b834b)(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F08%2F10%2F864797b5ebf95dbd86fb213351e5855c.jpg&hash=19ea414b902e64d577590f9a41586a2000d4b53e)
