Got Me a Bear!!

[G-Man]

Got my first bear today and first off my property, bottomed out my scale at 350 with head still on ground. Had to track it and that led to two charges. very exciting and. scary at same time

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Sweet I can't wait for a successful bear hunt. Are you going to post a picture?

[G-Man]

the lower jaw is broke cause its the only shot i had when it charged out from under a tree top while tracking!!

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Awsome man good shot. I may be off but is that a 30-30.

I CAN NOT wait to get a bear it must be such a rush.

[G-Man]

no its 45-70 government Marlin 1895 guide gun, after being charged 2x while looking under tree tops tracking, and having it pas py at 5-10 feet exciting is not a word i would use.... scared shitless is more appropriate!!

Holy Sh!!!!!t. Thanks for posting that. Considering I hunt with a .243, I won't be shooting a bear !! I'll scare him off instead.

congrats. What a beast you gonna put it on the wall?

[G-Man]

Thinking of a rug, full mount will be to expensive for me i think. wating for dec to check it. really want to see what it weighs and how old.

G-man,

Was the bear pushed out from cover or was he on his daily routine? Real nice bear, congrats!

[G-Man]

Well i was helping a friend and neighbor try get a doe at my place, saw some tracks and followed them to some old tops, walked up a deadfall to get a look into them, took about 4 more steps up the log so i was 3 -4 feet off ground, when it came up from under me at 5 feet... got a couple of shots in it out of pure fright , and self preservation. then had to track and finish it .. poking your head into every top it went in to see if it was there is not a pleasant experiance, especially when it comes out running right at you!! had 2 neighbors and a friend from a camp up the road helping me track and covering me whlie poking my head in. came in very usefull!! i would never track a wounded bear by myself.... ever!!
