This is my son Chris. He got his first black bear Thursday evening. The hunt was two weeks and the bears were few and nocturnal. He had given up, unloaded his rifle, and snapped the caps over the scope, and there in front of him at 20 yards stood this bear. Bear was a little confused as the 40 mph wind gave him some noise cover.. Bear looped wound and checked wind and went back to bait. He quietly slipped a 220 Sierra ProHunter RN in his 300 WSM, removed the caps and gave it a nice double lung heart shot. Bear made 10 yards. It tried to roar, but just let out a moan it couldn’t finish.
, no, not his camo. Slipped into his rain gear as the big wind brought a big storm. Long bumpy boat ride back to camp.
Earlier in the day he boated a 34.5” Northern that went 14#.
He likes vacations with dad.
He said it’s easy to get a double lung heart shot when you put a 3” entrance hole and a 7” exit hole. We did recover the jacket from ground strike. I’ll post that after we get back.
Flying out tomorrow.
