Nice bear, I'm leaving for princeton on the 8th and after watching this great video I can't wait to go hunting.This is my second year so It's all new for me. CONGRATS!!
The bipod was maybe 3ft long? I made it a couple of years ago out of a pair of dowels and a nut n' bolt...cost maybe 10 bucks. It usually rides around in the box of the truck when we are road hunting spring bear. It works pretty good from a sitting postion when theres nothin else available for a rest.Originally Posted by lcpaintballer

i say again, cool vid!

We had a bit of tracking job before the bear was recoverd. It just goes to show that shot placement is critical!

I should say so! You'de think if that bear were hit in the boiler room with a 260gr. he'd be ass over tea kettle, done like dinner. Excellent video by the way!
Tank is being to modest.....they tracked this bear for a day and a half, long after most would have given up. They lost the trail.... sometimes for hours at a time, picking it up again after spending time on hands and knees looking, or grid searching likely possibilities. My hats off to these three, they perservered and recovered the animal. Good job guys!We had a bit of tracking job before the bear was recoverd.
