Well here's my story.
Work called me very early in the morning May 13/09 and told me works slow stay home today so I said sure never really had a choice.
The wife left early as well to quickly go to work and finish off paper work for pay roll and then she came home just after I got off the phone with a coffee in her hand for me.
I told her work called and told me to stay home, and she asked what we were going to do today. Well she doesn't really like to go hunting so I asked her if we can go for a hike up a mountain in region 2 and she hesitated for a sec then said yes. I told her I was going to take my rifle for safety reasons and she thought nothing of it. I told her it was in case we encountered a bear. :)
LOL well we got to the top of the mountain and by this time she new what I was up to, creeping up the mountain, and being quiet, checking around and looking for fresh signs..lol she's not stupid. Any who we got to the top of the mtn and just as I told her ok we can be as loud as we want to be now, I saw some thing moving in the corner of my left eye and looked and sure as shi* it was a black bear. I've never taken one before so I didn't know what to expect but I wanted to take one to add to my list of things I've wanted to do and accomplished. Also people I know have been bugging me for bear meat.
So with out thinking I told my wife to be quite and get down, I took aim and fired.... crap I was so pumped I missed.... I wont lie it was a rushed shot so I reloaded and fired again. WHAT THE FUC* that couldn't have been a miss again. The bear didn't do any thing the first shot. The second shot she stood up and looked right at us and then once again started to feed. I told myself slow down so I reloaded again, took aim and took a breath and bang let loose a 180grn bullet and dropped her. She rolled down a little hill and expired right there.
Must say what a rush it was and how lucky I am to have my wife there by my side to experience the whole thing. Little did I know she caught the whole thing on video. I found out when we got home. To cool, we also took some pics.
Here's the pics, oh and because it's my first bear the wife said I can send it to the taxidermy. To freaking cool now to the pics oh by the way my height is 5'9 that should give you an idea of the size of my first bear.
