m4dmthree Report post Posted August 24, 2014 was lucky enough to get a great bear here on the last few days of the hunt wasn't the big one i was after but it was too good to pass up. i had been glassing all afternoon at some far distances friday afternoon and only saw one sow with a cub so that wasn't an option. after glassing for hours my eyes began to hurt a little so i pulled the binos down a little to rest my eyes and i look down and he this guy comes out the canyon below me at 500 yards. he was just going to town on the little pears that even existed on these hills. i quickly snuck in and about 15 min after spotting him i was 40 yards. 40 yards with no gun (left it in my backpack) and no one out there to help me in case the bear decide he wanted a little snack before he expired!!! but it all worked out made a great shot and he didn't get more than 20 yards!!! its crazy tho you get a 5 minute natural high immediately followed by OH shoot now theres alotta work ahead ha ha!!!! but my uncle ended up getting there at 9 i had one load taken to truck already and we just made one more trip back in and grabbed the hide and rest of meat. got out at 2 am!! wanna say thanks to my cousin all my friends and family that helped on a tough hunt and of course my uncle he really helped a lot getting there at 9 if it weren't for him id been up till 4am packing the bear out lol!! 3rd animal this year with bow can't wait till deer season in december ill have 5 out of the ten big game animals with a bow after shoot a nice mule deer and whitetail this year!!! I've never been more confident thats for sure!!! feedback always appreciated thanks!! got it to the taxidermist is looking like 19-20 inches from the looks of it definitely pope and young quality here can't wait till next august going back again to harvest the big bear i was on before a shot this guy!! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
