    Congrats. Nice story and photos. What gun, calibre and scope were you using? It's nice getting an early bear it takes the pressure off for the rest of the season.

    Tikka T3 in 7RM with a 3-9x40 Leupold vx1. Shot with a 150gr Barnes TSX over 67.5gr 7828. Loving the Barnes bullets. Entry wound in the lower neck was a finger hole, exit (pictured) was about 3". Lungs were liquid. I trimmed meat up to 2" of the hole. And no lead in the meat I feed my family.

    Nice rifle choice. I always worry about expansion with extremely close shots like that but it sounds and looks like a page from a text book.

    Congratulations. Makes me envious. Off to try my luck this weekend.

    Frank, I never thought I'd say this again. I'm getting the pig!
    Frank, we gotta get rid of this broad. I know a great place up the road. Lots of alligators.

    Marvin: If there's one thing I know, it's women and covert operations.
    Frank: Marvin, that's two things.
