Cool story on a great color phase.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Great job everyone whose tagged out. I love the pics and stories.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Huckleberry tag filled! Used fawn in distress call, this little guy comes in from my left side, 22 yards. Sneaked in behind my back, did not even hear him. Could not pass up the opportunity, he will make a nice wall mount.

This is the identical scenario how I got my bear.  Right down to the yardage and coming from my left.....weird.  Fawn distress is really gettin to them right now.  Way to go! :tup:

This bear did not even notice me until I had his shoulder in the cross hairs. Turned his head towards me as I raised the gun. Boom. Split the heart and clipped both lungs. He did a 720° spin and flopped. 100 lbs of meat on that guy, without bones.  Breakfast sausage, bear tacos, deep fried bear nuggets :)

Bear down!
This is my first bear, I put in my time in the huc 121, beautiful area.
Had to work for this blond 200lb boar.
Spot and stalk closed from 350 yds down to 120 yds, almost busted by some deer.
Soaking wet and 18 days of work and dedication, it pays off.

I feel so lucky, I spotted the blond bear from about a mile away the day befor and nearly killed myself getting to it, and ran out of light, but I pulled within 500 yds just to have him stay behind a bush.
Next day I waited from 6am in the rain and wind, and just waited and hoped for the window in the weather and at 330 I spotted him 300 yds away and slowly made my way to 120. I had to lay against  the mountain, ballance one bipod on my knee and take 20 seconds to deep breath lol 'boom smack
Made a really good shot as he turned his neck passed inside shoulderblade shattered his shoulder and the berger 165 ballistic bullet basically exploded his lungs,  he rolled like a bolling ball,
Now this is my first bear, I didn't know they did that! Lol, not one speck of blood at all, so I followed the chaos downhill,  "I should have waited longer" with my head down pushing through brush all pumped and anxious, now on all fours look up to see him looking right at me his head moved and my rifle stuck in the brush, I grabbed my 45 from 10 feet and dumped 4 rounds into him.
I knew better. Lesson learned, wait longer than ten minutes.

I still have moments every half hour where I yell f' yes I got a bear I did it, I'm still learning.
I thank the bear gods for shining on me, I love these animals.
And yes he's going full mount!
