I'm all for long range hunting and all, but man is that one diseased looking bear, not sure why you would have shot this one unless it was a mercy kill. Was it covered in mites and have mange?

It may have been hard to tell from over a half mile away when the trigger was pulled lol

Another reason to get close.

I got the bear tag. So, I have Sept 2-30 to get it done.

With a 9 day break in the middle for elk.

When Travis spotted the bear he did not have a lot of time to look over the bear. He saw it was a good sized bear and then got ready for the shot. Once the initial spot he was just worried about getting everything perfect (rifle and camera). After he made the shot and walked up to it was the first time he noticed the whole ugliness! LOL He said if he would have known it looked like that he said he would not have taken the shot. But you live and learn!

Well if the weather stays decent I am going to give the honey burn a try tomorrow. This will be the first time I try this so we will see how it goes. If anyone has some suggestions let me know.

Took us a little while to get everything the way we wanted, but with any luck this will pan out! Hoping to get two people their first bear this season. I guess I'd like to shoot a few as well, time will tell!

Shot this one in Montana, 15 yards. My son is up next. We've got 3.5 weeks of season left - no hurry.

That's a beauty Greenhorn, I don't think I've ever seen a white patch that big. Congratulations on a fine bear.

Great looking bear. Were you on the ground when you shot it?

 

[Greenhorn]

Thanks. It was a 7-08. Yes I was on the ground.

 

[Bar]

15 yds on the ground. Nice.

Well, after 1st year baiting not panning out 3 years ago, and then 2 years of not being able to get out, I got some bait set yesterday. Hoping to get a crack at one with the 45 Colt wheelgun.

Beautiful bear there Greenhorn. What part of MT? I was born in Whitefish, grew up in Missoula and Whitefish. Moved to Alaska 23 years ago.
