I'm getting my gun set up. I have 7mm rem 700. I'm most likely going to get a vortex viper scope. Working on a load for it right now. New to the long range shooting. Mostly an archery guy. I have a dec coues hunt and need to get my gun dialed in. Appreciate all the help do far. Any other advise is welcome.

That is awesome! Didn't you just kill a bear to?

That buck is choking! Love that 3x3!

That's one of the coolest bear pictures ever! Not to often you see triplets!!! Cute little guys. Had one at 20 yrds a few years ago. One of the most memorable encounters with wildlife. Thanks for sharing

That is good info! Thanks nighthawk! Ya never know how long the shot will be but I want to be prepared and feel confident in making an ethical shot.

+1 Dads checkin cameras as I write this. I'm workin. can't wait to see the pics. I have a good feeling about it!

I understand what your saying about the constitution. But every great nation demise starts with moral decay

" hey what are you doing?" I'll have to remember that one, appearently bears don't like that question. Kinda like my kids.

Amen!

Congrats on taking your bear with a bow!! Adrenalin!!!

A couple of weeks ago I was setting out cameras with my Dad. We climbed out of a canyon to a bench that we wanted to put a camera. I stopped to catch my breath. I look through the trees and see a tuff of blonde hair(no... not a blonde). Suddenly i realize that its a bear lifting up rocks looking for bugs. It had no idea we were there. So we just stood there and watch it for a while. It was really neat to watch a bear just doing it thing. I had never see one lift up rocks before. It just meanders around and well watch the video. Keep in mind we had no camo on standing in the open. No bear spray, only a 22-250 on Dads shoulder.

Insist on warming up the pop up first thing in the morning after eating Scotty's moms beans!!! REALLY??!

I'm just being a smart a**. Hope ya connect on a monster!

Maybe he has a pair of Kiababs and hunts with them. Good luck!

Don't have these particular boots but i wear the merrel phaser peak. Have over 300 miles on them. Been in every condition possible. Javi hunts to elk hunts over 11,000 ft. Love them never had a blister or hot spot. Provide great ankle support and the soles are amazing. very little signs of wear. I like merrel's

That's hilarious!!! I've seen that pose before. Last year, 33 coues hunt 4 of us in a ranger crew first thing in the morning(dark) top a little hill greeted by this same view. We all screamed like little girls," Kevin back up, back up"!!!! Lucky for us it didn't spray !!!

Those are the best sometimes everything I've killed has been OTC.

Pm sent

Lol!! If I didn't have so many hunts I would. If I remember right my factory nosler accubonds group very well.

Hey, take my 7-08 and find a load for mine that touch 3. Let me know when it's done. I just need it done by Nov 1.

Congrats!! Fantastic bear! If you or your taxidermist take some measurements here's a chart that might be helpful in determining his weight. http://www.huntingadventures.net/index.php?nav=newsandarticles&id=8

IF you had a Dec Coues hunt when would you start scouting?

OTC archery CO for me. Then off to unit 10 archery to help a buddy.

Quit shooting the small ones. Exactly! Patience young grasshopper, easy with the itchy trigger finger! I'm gonna hear it now!
