My husband got drawn for a special archery elk tag for last September here in western Washington. We spent the who;e month of September hunting that tag, so i brought my 30-06 along. The woods had been closed for fire danger, but the first day they re-opened we went in to check out game cameras. First we decided to look at this hillside that looked promising for bear. Walked in a couple miles fell on my butt while crossing a ditch getting ready to glass this hillside and saw a bear with my naked eyes. I got set up on a stump and got him just as he was heading into the timber. He rolled down the hill but got up so I shot him again, this time in the heart. weighed 120 lbs hanging weight. He was a 3 year old. Good eating!2018bear.jpg

About a week later we were walking up a logging road in the rain. When we got to the top the rain cleared and I saw a bear digging in a stump a couple hundred yards away. He disappeared around the back of it, i jumped up on a knoll and got set up. He came around the side of the stump and sat there facing us. Hubby said" I see him" but I already had my crosshairs on him and dropped him. It was a brutal climb up through the berries ripped my rain pants up . As we were going up a spike and couple of cows came out within bow range, but Hubby passed on him.
This bear was 130 lbs no head or hide, also a 3 year old bear.2018secondbear.jpg

Nice! Hopefully my son is old enough to go out soon and has an interest in it.

First picture is at about a mile away last September in CO, closed to 20 yards and a single .45-70 gave me the chance to take rest of the pictures. First September targeting bears specifically, definitely not my last.
