I just got back from my first bear hunt ever, and it was a blast even though it didn't last very long!
Monday night was our first night sitting at the baits. At nine o'clock this bear showed her head at about 100 yards away, when she got about 35 yars away I got a really clean shot at her, so I took it. She only went about five feet.
Judging by her teeth and the size of her head I think she was pretty old, but what I'm most excited about was her color. It ranged from a pretty light blonde on the back of her neck to darker chocolate on her legs and muzzle.
Overall it was an awesome hunt, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out.
