Nice bear this spring in OR.
Bear was grazing a creek bottom in some tall grass. Spotted him the continued down a trail for another 50 yds to get a shot.
Shot was about 75 yds with bear quartering away, but looking back over his shoulder my way. I had dropped my pack which made a little noise. Shot off my trekking poles with a Wiser connector.
Rifle - Kimber 280AI with 140 AB at 3200 fps
Shot too far forward and severed the spine with about 4 inches of fragmented spine. (Sorry no pictures). Bear fell where he was shot. Those bears are just black blobs in the grass like it was.
Guessimate 250-260 lbs. Surprising amount of fat already on this boar. Nice coat
