I gotta Bear-B-Q coming up this weekend with a bunch of buddies due to show up for salmon fishing tomorrow. The bears here are PRIME in September. We have a bush covered with acorns and they eat that and manzanita seeds in September and man is it some good eating bear meat. I couldn't smell anything while I was working up this bear, completely odorless. Wow is that going to be fantastic meat. Soaking backstrap in brine as we speak. I left about 5 am and got to my favorite lookout just at daylight, 6:45 ish. Sneak in real quiet like and boom, there he is feeding in the acorn bushes. He took off and I heard him before I saw him. I gave him a fawn bleat type sound to stop him at 275 yards. Kaboom! Rolling bear. I couldn't tell what was what so I kept shooting until he stopped. Hit him twice, spine and heart. Not my best rodeo by a far piece, but bear in the pot. I'll take pure luck once in a while no problem! There has been a bear in here for a while but I never hunted him as he was smaller then. Then last year we got some forest fires that ripped the place up so everything got turned on it's head. So is he the same bear, who knows? I have seen another color phase bear a few hundred yards from here so it could be him too. NOW, the rest of the story is after I shot him with the scoped .284, I went back to the truck to get the pack and grabbed the unscoped rifle to carry down there in case he still felt a little sporty about things. So the rifle you see in the photo is the 38-55, but I killed him with the 284. That 99F .284 is pure poison on game fellas, pure poison. Knocks the ever loving snot out of anything it touches. It's an impressive cartridge for out west. And the Savage lever makes for fast shooting, which unfortunately I needed this time around. Shortest bear hunt ever. I'll be back to hunt the burn for deer in 3 weeks. One of my kids is going to hunt for the first time this year so I'll see if we can't get him on a big blacktail. I'm setting him up with a early 110 in 243. This area is the one that produced this buck a few years ago. And there's bigger ones in there. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/najp4FX.jpg) Back to meat cutting. Praise God for Arthur Savage and his amazing lever guns. I love love love my Savages.

Great job! thanks for the details of the hunt too.
I never could figure out why the 284 win wasn't more popular, it's a great round.
Congrats

Nice job Fireball. The pack is tough, I'm sure, but honest work with real rewards. Congratulations.
