Was hunting black bear this past week with Tomah Joseph outfitter’s in Jackman Maine and I tagged a dandy evening of June 7 th. About 8:30 I heard bear chattering growls on my left. I got my gun up on the sticks and at 8:38 I shot this 300 pounder. 18 yards through the shoulders with my Encore 450 Bushmaster. He rolled forward over twice and was done. Went about 15-20’. Trail cam set on video on the bait caught the shot from the back side showing the shot impact as well as another bear in the background that I never saw. It was awesome. I was on the ground in a box blind I built for the outfitters as a tip. I have built them 3 so far. Also building them a cabin on each trip we make there. This week we wired, insulated, set the kitchen and countertop and put up 1500 sqf of end matched pine siding inside. Until next year thank you Tomah Joseph Outfitters. Ken

If anyone can help me I’d like to add pictures. Only flaw in him I gave him lol
