Left home about 7am Sat morn. Had trailer set at 5pm. Went to call my wife after set up and a decent chocolate bear steps out onto gravel road, no gun. He sauntered off. Call wife, go for a drive, up to lake do some fishing.
Sunday morning, driving down to go fishing spot a decent bear drinking at a pond. Good bear, tiny ears. Park truck, grab 30/30 sneak in for a shot. He starts to walk and eat, broad side 100ish yards. Pulled the trigger and he ran 20 yards and piled up. That was at 10:00am. Had to snatch block him back to truck from tree to tree. In back of ttuck by 11:30. Skinned and quartered by 2, fishing at 3. Easy peasy. Saw 8 bears Sunday. Started to rain terribly sunday night so I packed up and came home. It was a good hunt. Sorry for double pic. One was supposed to be the snatch block, lol. Pull 100 feet move 25ish, reset.
