An excellent hunting trip. Didn't have much choice but to shoot the bear as it was stalking us. We Yelled and gave him every chance to leave us alone but 11 yards and not showing any sign of him backing down he made the decision easier.
My buddy called the elk into 38 yards at about 630pm. We gave him an hour and then tracked him well into the night. We bumped him at about 10pm so had no Choice but to give him the night and come back in the morning. We got on a very weak blood trail the next morning but persistence paid off he was dead about 200 yards from where we bumped him the night before. The shot ended up being slightly more quartered towards me then I realized. it still hit him fairly good. Right behind the shoulder blade and came out the guts slightly. Amazing how far he went with the amount of blood he had in his lungs.
