After watching the bears Monday letting them pass I remember I did promise my little 14 year old sister I would take her out and give a try at her first animal. Prior getting there I did tell her don't be suprised they are already out feeding. It's overcast and they like to feed early. So we get there and up the hill there was a bear out feeding up on top. I slowy get to my glassing spot and it already walked I the bush.
I told old her not to worry it's only 5pm still lots of time. It's cloudy and bears like to go back and worry eating and resting. He will come back out later. Well she said " it was still nice just to see my first bear". I kinda laughed to myself. " Don't worry, your gonna see it alright". Two hours later and I spot a faint black hair and back over the little knoll in the grass. Let go and see that bear.
We slowly walked up on the edge and showing her out to check the wind. Told her bears have 10x better nose then a bloodhound. Play the wind and you win! We got up to 70 yards of the bear sitting on our honchis in the grass and watched the bear walk, lay down and feed. Quietly whispering it and it's doing, we have all the time in the world, first calm down and just watch. We watched for 25 mins and I kept asking her well do you want it or pass. She kept saying yeah then I set her up for her first date. On the shooting sticks I got her to collect herself and let her take the shot. With my 7mm she dropped it lights out not a inch moved. Well sis you got your bear now time for work.
At at the end of the day it's always nice to be the shooter, but kinda more proud just watching.
