Bear Success

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

Well in the past week it seems the prickly pears have really started to turn. I headed out last weekend in hopes of finding a solid black bear out working the pears. I hunted with my good friend for three days and we did not see anything. On the last evening we were heading out when my buddy stopped to look at a prickly pear covered hillside. He immediately noticed a black spot going from prickly pear to prickly pear. It was obvious it was a bear and it looked like a good one. Lucky for me my buddy had already shot a bear this year so I was up. After putting glass on the bear we realized he was a great bear with a solid black hide. I got the gun set up and after one shot from my 300wsm the bear was down. I guess him around 300lbs and he has approximately a 19" skull. Hope you enjoy the photos.

 

Brian

Nice bear. Is his back a lighter shade of brown, or is it just the angle of the photo? What unit did you tag the bear in?
