Bear down

Bear sausage coming up….,
started baiting last weekend 15 min from my camp. Was walking in today with big bag of dog food and garbage bag of table scrap. When I got to 100m shooting lane I seen boar on bait. I dropped everything and went back to truck and put dog in and grab my rifle. Went back and shot it through the heart. It travelled 40 m before expiring.
Rifle was a Sako A7 in .30-06 with Bushnell Elite 4500 2.5x10 shooting Sako Gamehead 180 gr.
Shot it at 9 am. Perfect weather at 8 degrees Celsius.
All butchered, on ice in coolers.
Great day. :thumbup:

WTG, nice shooting. Gotta love it when things fall into place like that. Now you can change your nick to Deer and Bear Hunter.

Oh yes, perfect eater.
I was worried for them because of the blueberries shortage, but this one found something else to gorge on, he had a huge layer of fat on him.

Thanks smitty.
There was a time my handle would of been Moose Hunter but not hunting in big gangs and not getting any tags, I switched over to Deer and Bear hunting.
Deer is my favourite by far.

Haha, well after getting skunked last year and this spring I can handle a short, easy and cheaper (bait) hunt.
I'm getting too old hauling all that bait. lol
No, nothing but the best for my girl.

Yes, I was worried my dog would see it. Bear never knew I was there.
My trails are well clean and on moss or sand. The wind was right.
My Dad taught me well not to slam the doors and always be quiet. :thumbup:

This is my set up.
A huge old sow (I think) destroyed the drum this spring. I had to replace it.
