I was trying to catch the rifle firing. I know, it's one one hundredth of a second event. I was a few milliseconds too late and caught the moment of impact instead.
I was pretty excited about that.
Yeah the bears are pests, in the yard.
I was visiting with a neighbor earlier in the day. He lost his cabin in the last flood and has been sleeping in an open faced shed while he rebuilds.
He told me that last week he had a bear walk right past the open front of the shed, just ten feet from his bed.
As if that wasn't bad enough it came back later that day. He shot it and two other bears before nightfall that day. All within a few yards of his living quarters.
While I was there my brother shot one in his yard, just feet from the house and three more in a small field just down the hill from his yard.
They have flattened several acres of the best oat crop he has had in years.
And they have done a lot of damage in the peas as well.
I am guessing but I figure there are close to 50 bears in a four square mile around his farm.
We did count 13 in one field, one day.
