im posting this on behalf of my 13 year old son “grader1”
Grader decided this year he wanted to try to harvest a black bear . Since his birthday was just around the corner the wife and I decided that every young man who hunts should have his own rifle ... so I looked around and managed to find a beautiful husky 270 . Birthday in the books we had a plan to camp out and go get a bear . Turns out we went camping in monsoon season

although it was a wet trip in a tent it was still good fun . We only spotted 3 bears one was a shooter for sir but with no boat it just couldn’t happen .. fast forward to Wednesday may 12 . After work I suggest to the fact we should go for a drive after dinner to “ my honey hole” well not actually but still went for a drive. We pulled over up high in blue berry territory and had a good glass ... when I was glassing I spotted a bear .. wow he looks like a big bear ! He’s probably 3/4 of a mile away . We assessed the roads and area he was in and decided to try our luck , problem turned out that where he was was steep and very broken ground so once we got to within the area We thought he was it just didn’t pan out .... moving to Friday the 14th we decided we need to try to find this bear so we put a plan together and headed out. It could not have worked out better . We were in his area right around 7:45 pm and guess who is out feeding. I get grader set up only problem is the sun is setting at 11:00 and grader can’t see a thing through his scope. I assure the young fella the bear is just feeding just calm down and wait for you’re chance! As soon as that left my mouth ...up snaps the bears head he winded us off he goes ! Uh oh! He was at 88 yards when he winded us at that point I moved my middle aged man boobs in a manner to shade the sun at the point the bear was at 153 yards when he stopped. Grader squeezes of a round and the bear bites at his shoulder then stumbled and rolled over ... success !! Grader was just thrilled his bulllet was nearly dead Center in the bores heart.
now for the cleaned skull
Craig stolle oficially green scored him at 19” on the button
