Mike Coover's 630 Yard Spot and Stalk Bear Hunt with the AZ Ground Pounders

[AZ Ground Pounders]

Mike Coover made the trip back up to hunt with the AZ Ground Pounders Outfitters again. In April of 2012 Coover killed a giant Tom on the first day of the hunt. On the fourth afternnon of the bear hunt Cash glassed a big bear working down a canyon. The bear was a shooter at first site. Coover set up the Custom .300 Weatherby Mag and got on the bear quickly. Waylon turned the custom Kenton Industries Turrett for 630 yards. The big bear stepped out into an opening an Coover let it rip. The bear was hit hard and rolled down the steep canyon.  Cash and Thumper stayed in the glasses and guided Waylon and Coover to where the bear was last seen. About 10 minutes before dark at the bottom of the canyon Waylon found the big bear. Congrats to Coover on the great shot and an awesome bear.

AZLance I guess it was more of a find the bear, shoot the bear and take the pictures of the bear hunt. I was just trying to say that we didnt use hounds to kill the bear. Coover made a great shot but getting that bear out made up for any lack of stalk.
