![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/W3B9yGFg/IMG-7692.jpg) I think I was more jacked about getting the bear..... Killing a black bear in Eastern Montana was pretty cool for me...;) Two tags cut in a 13 hour stretch, after an 18 day dry spell.... This was early October. I took the bear with a rifle.
Luck....is the residue of design... ![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/96zvyt.gif)

Scenarshooter: Congratulations on taking the two great trophies this year!
Good for you.
I first Hunted, what I consider to be eastern Montana, in the late 1960's and have only seen 2 (two!) Black Bears "over there" in all that time.
Keep up the good "work".

Well done Pat!! That bear looks like a brute of a bear! Might just be the picture but that bear almost makes that elk looks small

Ya done good....real good! Congratulations on both. And, I can understand being a bit more “pumped” about the Bear. Even in good bear country......you rarely see a herd of bears!  memtb

Congrats Pat! If I were a critter in NE Montana and heard you were on an 18 day dry spell, I'd be sweating.
