Bear Log ... Mon 26 Sept 16
After not hunting opening week of the bear season and guiding a friend Week #2, with plenty of opportunities at lesser bears and an unpunched tag, It was finally time for me to try and secure my winter's meat.
After having "Chubby " walk right underneath my stand at 4pm, this 2 1/2 ringer made an appearance at 5:40 pm. This is "Iffy" , one that Lance had only a breif moment to decide whether on not to pull the trigger on earlier the previous week.By the time we decided it was takable the window of opportunity had closed.
After agonizing on whether or not I wanted to continue expending the time and expense of baiting with only one week of vacation left, I had to make a decision. Sometimes you have to recognize a gift when it is presented to you... Broadside 25 yards
60 yards up the trail ! The Rage Mechanical had done its job ... Middle of the Middle - no question on the shot !
It wasn't one of the bigger bears I was holding out for, but a beautiful bear that will make for some excellent table fare.
