I was going camping/fishing/exploring/bear hunting and asked a guy I sometimes work for if he wanted to come. He was a gun nut but had never hunted, he'd done the core, had his paperwork but had to get his hunter number. He got all his paperwork and some new ammo and we were off, we met my brother in law and headed into a spot we'd never been before. We saw 5 bears before we got to camp, most were like ben johnson into the bushes although one decent one gave me a chance it just seemed to early as we hadn't even set up camp yet.
We set up and toured the lake in my bro in laws boat, road hunted a bit as it started to rain and then back to camp for dinner and some drinks.
The next morning we had a greasy breakfast as the sun came out and then headed out to patrol the roads. Three songs into my steve earle album we see a bear around the corner, I stop the truck, we get out and he comes out of the ditch and stands there with a what do you want look giving my friend enough time to hit him in the chest, the bear spun with one the front leg swinging in the wind and into the bushes. He went 25 feet. Sorry about the blurs, i didn't ask to if I could post their faces on the interweb so I figured I'd better blur them.

He was pumped! This boar had a beauty hide and nice size, not bad for having a hunting license for a week! He blew the front shoulder up, then the heart, then the liver! We opened him up after doing the gutless method, just to give him a little anatomy lesson.

He was shooting a 7mm with 150 grain winchester bonded bullets of some sort.
We saw a bunch more bears including two that compared to this guy but they seemed to be wise to me. We saw one chocolate that actually tree'd!

I think it was a she and she was pretty! Probably around 5 feet, gorgeous bear! I thought about it for a while but thought I'd hold out for a big boar. We backed off and she climbed down and began to feed again.
