I made a second trip to Ontario and managed to shoot a small sow on the 3rd day of hunting. First bear for me and first kill with the 9.3x62! One of the guys thought it was hit with a shotgun slug ;o)?
They are definitely difficult to judge on size. She apparently was in a "hurry" since she appeared to be scurrying past my bait and took me by complete surprise arriving to left of my stand. I did make a honey burn around 4:30 p.m. but didn't see anything til she showed up around 8:22 p.m. in the evening.
While no trophy by size the meat should be great eating? Some of the other hunters managed some 250 ish lb bears with I believe 1 going 350? There were still hunters who had yet to see a bear so I hope some luck comes their way. I'm already looking forward to next August! I will try to get pics up.
