I was predator callling some thick brush (I was on the edge of the brush in a powerlinish type area) and had my brother about 10 yards away from me. A bear was putting the sneak on me :EAT: (10 yards or less from my brother), about 20 yards from me. Everytime I would blow, he would move in (I never heard or saw him). My brother was facing the wrong way to get a shot at the bear (color phase), so he was turning slightly while standing on a rock...lost his balance a bit and too much movement caused the bear to bounce.
Went and checked where the bear was standing when it left...everything was dry except a couple of slobber marks on some leaves. :tup:
Called in two others, but they hung up in the brush. All very close calls.

My day started at 3am. Got to my spot and sat until 9 no bears. two guys got one on the clear cut above me talked to them but didn't see the bear. Then we hiked out for lunch and planed are afternoon. We started hiking back in around 3pm. then at 720 I took my shot and he started to do kartwheels and piled up at the bottom of the hill. The shot was about a 130 yards bears don't go far when you put 140 grain bullet out of a 7mm-08 right in the hart and out the other side.
Ya! Pics??? Was you guys up in the basin? That's where we were and heard a few shots but didn't see anyone draggin one out. Bear stats?

Nothing goes far with a 140 outa the -08! Great job!
