After season after season of carrying a bear tag around and only seeing and harvesting ungulates my bear bad luck streak ended last week as i hammered a nice 4 1/2' boar.
After work me and my bud head out to go help my old man build a tree stand up on a cut we've hiked into numerous times,seeing that it is only a 15 min drive from our place and work i tell my bud to just bring his 30-06 with a few bullets incase a dumb whitey buck pops out on the way . well on the way i notice a bear up a road a bit so my bud passes me his gun seeing that ime the one with the bear tag so i walk up the road a few hundred yards to see that hes still there feeding without a care in the world . On my arse and bipod down as i wait for a shot , bear walkes out of the ditch and onto the road givving me a broadside shot boom! one in the shoulders as he then stands on is back legs and faces me boom! right in the center of the ribcage . A closeup putdown shot later i got my first bear. ( side note spear 165gr bt hp = garbage bullet ). now all happy to explain to my old man why were late to help him build his stand we are almost at the point where my dad is parked when we see a spike fork bull moose standing 40 feet infront of the truck . Just as I identify it it also dawns apon me that we only have one gun and we used up the little ammo we had on the bear .... oh well still one animal in the freezer and as ray says "some times she goes some time she doesent"
