Be ready to shoot when you're glassing fellas. I feel like an idiot, I had a bear pop up at 290yd while I was glassing and my gun was still strapped to the pack, didn't have the bipod on it and decided I should put it on (vs just shooting off my pack prone, etc.) and overall acted like I had a few minutes to get ready vs executing rapidly on a completely doable shot. Basically I was mentally unprepared to act at that moment which was needed while the bear was in the scrub window.
Saw 2 bears while out for 3.5days, first bear was right before sunset on the first night but at a distance we weren't comfortable shooting and we couldn't relocate it when we closed the distance. That second bear was an executable opportunity that I flubbed.
