We found ourselves 4 miles in and had an absolutely awesome shooting perch that overlooked the whole hillside I had been seeing bears on for a couple of weeks. When we first got to the spot there was an absolute giant light chocolate covered bear that was working his way into the timber at about 600yrds away. That was a beautiful bear. Once he left into the timber we continued to glass the hillside. Not 15 minutes later my buddy started pointing and mouthing " Bear, Bear, Bear" I thought he was saying that the monster fed his way back out of the hillside so I was not all that excited thinking he was out of range. I then quickly realized that another bear had started feeding up the hillside right below us! I grabbed my rifle got comfortable and got my buddy on the spotter to watch for hit or miss. I ranged the bear at 325 yrds. I dialed my scope and let one fly. The first round went just barely over the bears head and hit a rock right behind him. The bear was confused and stepped up and gave me a better shot. Seconds later, I let the second shot go and dropped him in his tracks.
It could not have worked out any better. It was a long night getting out of there and making the long 4 miles packout to the truck. I could not be happier with the boar I took and how the situation played out. First Spring Bear for me. I could not have done it without meeting up with a very generous soul on this forum and having his help. Some really good people out there on this forum. Thank You!
