The night before I'd seen him on a hillside nearby. I almost went up after him but it had been a long day. This morning I'm half way down my driveway and he's walking right across it. One shot from a .243 win @ 40 yards and he's stone dead. 226 lbs after I did a 15min gut job. He hasn't been on fish yet so it should be really good eating. Those guys would probably be pisted if they knew I posted the one pic of their hands touching...

Awesome! I love black bear meat.

Timing is everything

I see you shot him in the right place...really close to your truck!
