It was thanksgiving day a beautiful day to be in the woods I made my way to a new spot on the property that I scouted in the summer alot of deer activity and bear all of the scat indicated it was a prime spot so I sat untill 11 of course I didn't see any deer or bear only chipmunks and squirrels the party that I was hunting with 5 of us 2 were on the other side of the mountain and me and 2 others were on the other side about 3 quarters of a mile away we meet up to have lunch and come up with a new game plan the 2 guys on the other side of the mountain called and said they just saw a bear no shot they were very excited so we thought let's sit here the bear might come right to us after a hour of sitting nothing so we decided 1 man walk the top of the mountain 1 man skirt the side of the mountain and 1 man walk the bottom I decided to skirt the side 5 min into the walk I though slow down your going to fast so as I was creeping threw the woods I spotted the bear walking the side of the mountain I stopped he had no ideal I was there until I raised my marlin 30-30 he looked at me and I fired 1 went threw the shoulder just to make sure I fired again this 1 went threw the heart my buddies heard me shoot called me and I could barley speak bear I said he meet me right where I shot I didn't move we walked to wear I though i shot the bear about 50 yards no blood so I did a circle 10 yards later I found blood and 20 more yards there was the bear I yelled in excitement smiling from ear to ear this is a day I will never forget the memories created will last forever
