Default First Black Bear

Got my first black bear last Sunday night by Grande Prairie. It was a great walk and stalk up to under 100 yards. Took tips from the outdoorsman site on walking and sitting on cutlines, which obviously helped! Really excited about this bear and made a clean kill with the .270, bear dropped instantly which is always a good feeling. Excited for the upcoming fly fishing season and the fall! Tight Lines!
