Post by: woodman on August 26, 2010, 04:35:02 PM: Thanks for the lead-in Rasbo. I did get a bear this morning around 8 am. I was hiking into an area quietly and I heard this bear making noise running through the berry bushes. When I saw the bear it was at a full out run heading for timber. It was impossible to judge any size due to the vegetation and I had about 2 seconds to make up my mind. It exposed itself between some of the brush and I took my shot. I can tell you that I was a little worried when I went to look for it because I did not see any blood right away. I kept looking in the area where I believed that it was when I shot and then I saw a lot of blood. I knew at that moment that I either had a dead bear or an extremely pissed bear. I looked about another 40 or 50 feet and there it was balled up in a bunch of stickers and nettles and one hornets nest.(wonderful) I called for some help and one person brought a quad up to help. Rasbo also showed up and he was a tremendous help in getting that bear out.(thank you very mush Rasbo) This bear is not one of my larger ones, it field dressed at 157 pounds. My guess is that this is maybe 175 to 180 pound bear. I am glad that I took it, I love bear in the freezer.

Post by: epq21 on August 27, 2010, 10:37:29 AM: Congratulations on the bear, that is awesome!! :) :drool: :) No surprise you got help from Rasbo and others so quickly, they truly are great people. I recognize that drag wrap...they are awesome to use and I bought one myself after having the pleasure of cleaning Rasbo's with sow milk. Sounds like you made a great shot on what looks like a great bear. Did Jim ask if you put two in her when he found out? :chuckle:

Congratulations again!!
