The sow hunters were out in force and the season was to close about as quick as it opened. As the prickly pears are a narrow window food source, I rushed back out yesterday and set up to hunt today. Glassed up three bears right off. One was a genuine toad. As it was the color phase that my buddy wanted, I gave him the chance to shoot it. He missed! (long story).
When the black one came out We watched it and decided it was a boar so I poked it. Did not make a great shot. Had a tracking job and finally finished him off.
Can't fault the 260 AI, just the trigger puller.
Best part was we only had to pack it 1/4 mile to where we could get the ranger.
I even wore my campfire hat
