June First Bear!!

Will just had the best hunt in years!! My parents came out from the East coast for a couple weeks, so I thought I would take Dad on a Bear hunt. It was a blast! It was our first(successful) hunt in ~12yrs. On one outing we saw 6 bears, only 3 would let us get pics! This little brown was happy to stand for the camera:

We got pretty close to this guy ~3.5'.....We let him go. After driving for some time we came up on this guy, He was either a huge Black Bear or a young Grizz, This was the best shot he gave us for both the camera and gun:

After following it for ~500m from the truck up the road, we decided that it was a Grizz and needed to get back to the truck.

Then the last bear we saw was the one we took, a nice 5' brown:
