nlacost Report post Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks a ton everyone..This was round 2 after last weekends failure to connect..got up there that morning early and was heading to the head of a canyon with some water pockets in it..As I started in I spotted this big sow and it was a 300 yard shot with my .308,she dropped in one of the water puddles...Yes she was a shaggy one..pretty heavy bear and it took a couple trips to get her out..great fun and now the processing of the meat chore begins..Did see bears everyday though,sometimes 5 a day..and I don't glass a whole bunch..did see elk,fox,a giant coues in the 130 range that looked ridiculous even at 350 yards with a left side drop tine...plenty of turkeys too..great trip....Nate 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a great combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
