150lb spring black bear, shot with a 170gr winchester fn from a pre-64 model 94 winchester .30-30

 

[TimC]

Wow how close was that when you fired?

Wow how close was that when you fired?

He was around 50yds away or so, it was about 8:30pm.
The bullet entered just behind and below the shoulder (double lung) and exited hitting the elbow on the other side. He ran about 40yds then layed down and was dead within a minute.

I'm envious but also kind of glad that its only wild pigs that are dangerous over here!

haha, well in my experience wild pigs are a great deal more aggressive then your average black bear, most black bears i've met have ran as though the hordes of hell are after them. Can't say the same for the few wild boar I've seen.

Well the Fallow Buck Season opened

We had a good opening day which ran on for about a week with 2 Fallow prickets in the chiller and a nice Roe Buck, they have been open since 1st April and very nice to get one during the rut, that should ensure more come in. All of the people in the pics are clients;

A fallow I took, getting rare to get action this early in the season with so many clients so I made the most of this one.
Young Alix with her first Deer a RoeBuck;

She took it with a .243 in an old Ruger 77.
we are nowadays doing the gralloch where possible hanging the carcasse from a tree, this one I used the folding gambrel that I have started to import;

More to follow from yesterday after I clean my rifle.

 

[TimC]

Making inroads into the prickets whilst they are trying to hang around their mums and pinch the fawns milk is a great herd management tool. It also gives us something to do whilst waiting for the rut to start and the big trophy heads to appear.

Target acquired. Cant wait for deer season

 

[TimC]

Nice, I cant wait for the doe season to open, 1st Nov to 31st March isnt long enough and there have been some superb ones seen. I do prefer the does as there is less pressure to take a trophy and more meat for the freezer. Its also the part of the annual plan that most stalkers avoid.

 

[Dogleg]

I call this one Tripod the Wonder Bear. When ya finds a bar dis good, ya donts eat him all at once.

 

[blasted_saber]

Besides being small, this guy earned himself a free pass if he happens in front of me;

Whats that on the ear?

Oh, an ear tag!

 

[Found]

Looks like an ear tag from being tranquilized which is usually reserved for problem bears here in Ontario.

My goal for the year (20 yards from my new stand).

Indeed it is. Im going to talk to the local MNR bear guy and see if I can figure out just how far this little fella might have come from.

 

[Dench]

Wow Diemaco! I hope you get that buck.

 

[blasted_saber]

Bullwinkle makes his appearance....

 

[Kelly Timoffee]

Even with the 30C+ temperatures they are starting to move around! Just hope the bucks know where to show up.
