Fall black bears are a blast! I bumped into this nice boar working some late berries and was able to kill him with my GAP .260 at 488 meters with a 130gr VLD through his shoulders. I shot from the ridge above my right shoulder. No wind.
I was hoping to run into a colored bear......guess I'll have to wait until next spring.....grin!
Nice bear Pat...that 260 is sure doing a fine job.
NICE!
Nice Bear!
Good for you. The 260 still working great I see.
You're like a machine.
Very nice, Congrats.

Congrats scenar, good looking bear.
That's a beauty!
great bear. I like those really dark-muzzled black bears
Thanks ex! He really "shined" up, when he stepped out into the morning sunshine. I've been kind of looking for a color phase blackie the last few years, but there's something about a nice glossy black one......I can't resist!
Way to come thru again Pat.
really nice bear!
Beauty, eh.
The only black bears I have any experience with is Oso Negro vodka and gin. I'm going to have to broaden my horizons, that is a good looking animal.
pictures like that make me HATE the midwest
Nice Bear!! That 260 has been a workhorse for you lately.
ddj
I thought bears couldn't be killed in jeans?
Awesome!
The bear wasn't in jeans you knob....
Pat was.
One you go black you never go back. Come on out this spring and we'll look for some mulattos!
Got 'em mixed up... My bad!
Ive only ever shot one black black bear....just about every other shade in the bear rainbow, but only one black...
Nice bear!
You should take me bear hunting on October 3rd.
Nice bear, Pat! Good shootin' too!!
