Put a couple of 8mm holes in this fella at 9:00pm the other night. Not much of a story though. Went for a drive and took the atv down a side road. I stopped to glass a slope with a lot of green on it. No bears on the hill but across the trail and through some brush I heard a small tree get knocked over....then another. Up come the binos, lo and behold it was a bear eating roots. Watched it for a bit before deciding to drop the hammer. Husqvarna 8mm with 196gn Norma Vulkan bullets made quick work of it.
My precise measurements tell me it is 5 of my size 12 Hanwag boots from nose to tail. My guess is 5.5 feet. Nice noggin and a scarred up face on him too.
I ground most and save a couple roasts to make some pulled bear. Now I have to decide if I want to head out and chase another or focus my time on fishing....if the ice ever leaves the lakes that is. Best of luck to everyone chasing bears out there!
I just got last years grizzly back as well so I'll have to post pics of the rug sometime.
