Congrats on the bear and a great write up. Just curious you stated you aimed higher since the shot was downhill. That’s opposite of what you should do though.

MAC great read thanks for taking the time to write it up. It was like I was there !!!! 805 I didn’t want to be “THAT” guy but that’s my understanding of shooting at a steep angle high or low , Aim low....
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

Great hunt, Great photos & Great read. Did you see any turkeys? Hopefully, I'll draw a spring gobbler tag there------I usually hunt Apache Canyon. Which campground did you stay at?

Congrats on the bear and a great write up. Just curious you stated you aimed higher since the shot was downhill. That’s opposite of what you should do though. I wanted to make sure I got the spine and the lungs. So I held slightly high. Had a I held low I would not have got the spine and he wouldn't have dropped straight down. I had no desire to have to track him and knew I would lose sight of where he was while walking over.
