Brown Bear Hunt
The Bear Hunt: November 10, 03
Sean and I took this bear before we even knew we were hunting! We had hardly arrived at our "stake out" spot when Sean looked out and whispered, HE'S RIGHT THERE!
We watched as he wandered toward us, I don't know if he was not aware that we were there, or if he was just to big to care, but when he turned at an angle to us, I said "I'm taking it", and took my first shot...

We watched as he wandered toward us, I don't know if he was not aware that we were there, or if he was just to big to care, but when he turned at an angle to us, I said "I'm taking it", and took my first shot. It was a well placed shot and he recoiled but did not go down, Sean squeezed off a shot and again we could see he took it hard. He quickly got his feet under him and headed for the trees as I got off my 2nd shot,
and Sean did too. Surprized I had time, I took a third shot before knowing if our other shots where going to take effect, Knowing I would not get another, since he was close to the trees. He went down after that barage, and we began to congratulate ourselves. Then Sean said, "he's up, you better hit him again" so I sighted in, make a carful squeese and..."click" the chamber was empty! No sooner was the sound made then Sean's rifle roared to life and he dropped for the last time.
