I set myself up, I saw a tank of a bear in there that morning (archery elk hunting) and saw some fresh elk sign so decided to come back and just observe for the evening knowing if I saw elk, I likely wouldn’t have a play that evening
Soon as I sat down and set my tripod up I glassed a bear way in the top where I had seen the big one that morning and it was feeding my way, so I decided to haul ass home (lived like 3 miles down the road) and switch my bow for a rifle and try to kill that bear
Got back and was running low on light, glass up the bear around 300yds and quickly set up my rifle to shoot (without glassing again) and as soon as I got a clear shot I took it, and it came plowing down the hill and jumped over a spur road and that was when I first thought, that didn’t look like the same bear
I was right, it wasn’t. I didn’t even second guess it until then, just assumed it was the same one, since that morning was the first time I’d seen one there. Pretty funny all in all, because I’m usually very good about that with bears, but I let my guard down and paid the price of a dink, haha. Sow sized boar
