After spotting this bear at first light we put a plan in place after a two mile hike we arrived just as this bear was going to bed , we decided to stay put and wait him out. This made for a long day but finally around 5 he got back up and started to feed. She was very patient waiting for the right shot opportunity. The bear fed in and out of cactus patches not offering a shot it finally bedded back up and gave her a shot at 440 yards she made a lethal shot but this bear got back up she hit it again right behind the shoulder it went down but got back up and continued coming down hill so she followed up that shot with another perfectly placed shot. This time it was down for good . I’m very proud of her and everything she has accomplished I’m so lucky to share this with her. Here are the video links to her shooting and the bear as well. https://youtu.be/Bmx7swiJ-E0 https://youtu.be/MvkMfNfK9i8 1F252D2B-EA32-4EA1-A2F4-D0A283BBB5D2.MOV 6204EC82-9C9B-4819-A6AA-960E227BBCD3.MOV 19 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
