First Bear of The Season

[HighCountry]

I spotted this bear at one of my fav. hunting areas. It was about over 300 yards from where I was standing. I started to follow it for about another 100yards. I took 2 shots with a 7MM WSM with 140Grain Ballistic Tip. And then he was down.

Hmmm did he look depressed ? or sad ? was he crying??? Hard to figure out why such a fine looking bear would go out and hang himself ???LOL

Great color phase and CONGRADULATIONS on the sucessful hunt.

Took a look at the pics again and with the shooter being 5ft 5 I would agree with Kirby's assesment. I would shoot him. Nice bear again.

awesome. congrats, I'm still waiting to get my first bear.

Was out yesterday and it's pretty mucky in the south Okanagan up top.
Going out again tomorrow, but have to stay to the main roads or hike in.

Congrats on getting one so early.
