Roy, how far are you from the Coast? Ever do any off shore fishing. Nothing like fresh Surf and Turf. Or, just use the Tuna for bear bait?

Mike Thanks everyone. Great fun. Always good to hear from you Mike! I have a niece and her 8 year old autistic boy here for a couple days so I'm taking them out to play in the mountains. Maybe we can spot a bear. Joe, we're 80 miles from the coast but I did all the fishing I wanted in Alaska and nearly died twice so I'm cured of ocean fishing!

You get him with the 250 R Joe? Yeah, and 30 seconds after the picture was taken the game warden standing in the background had him in handcuffs!

People ask about bear meat. I can't speak to other areas, but here the meat is extremely good eating. We'll cut this up Sunday. And for some perspective on the bullet performance, since it was steep downhill when I shot, it clipped the spine and went out a rib. I poured out a bunch of jelly from his insides.

Roy, you sure had me laffin at "loading loose jello" ! upload image onlineI walked up on this blackie when I was on a mission to swap trail camera chips. He was about 35-40 yards away when I realized that it really wasn't one of the range cows! He never did notice me. I had the wind and terrain and just remained still. Shooting him would have been a breeze. I was only armed with a .22 auto pistol, so I felt a little naked... I watched him for about 10 minutes before he wandered off. Killing him and getting him out of that hole would open a huge can of worms for me... Anyway - great story and congrats on a nice bruin!

Hate the death moan. Really bothers me. every time Roy. sometimes i hear it in my dreams. i have been known to put ear plugs in after the shot. great write up Roy. i have one i am studying here that has a date with my .54 flintlock.

When my buddy shot his bear, we rolled him into my jet sled. Than it was easy to load him on the side by side. Also pulled the sled, the couple of hundred yards to the trail, I use the jet sled to take out deer and fire wood.
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!
