Another one for the freezer..
This one was close... about 40ft. Was just getting out of the truck when this prime candidate for burger walked over like it was his truck. My son Matthew (pictured) dashed for the open door, and I plowed him with a spine shot to the neck from my Remington 788 in 308 with the a custom NOE 311299 hollow point over 31g of Varget.. backed the truck up and loaded him.. not much of a hunt to be honest... didn’t even get my hip boots on when he walked over to see what was in our picnick basket. These are the kind of young bears I love to take out of the local population. Curious close to town brave young bears turn into aggressive habituated bears if not dealt with.
This is one of my favorite boolits around here. Great from my 308’s, and my son Matthews 30-06. It is a hunt/show stopper..
Freezer is filling fast.. one or 2 to go.
