Well 4 years ago I decided to start seriously trying to tag a arizona black bear. I wanted to do this without a guide and without dogs. I was pretty unsuccessful not gonna lie. I hadn’t seen a bear for 4 years after weeks of hiking and glassing each year.
Well this year I had the good fortune of getting on some bears in a canyon with a buddy of mine.
645 rolled around and I see this black bear out eating acorns 435 yards away. I watched it for a few minutes and after seeing it was the only one around decided to pull the trigger. I dialed in my dope and let the 308 fly. DRT. I Know it’s small. I need to get better at estimating size.
Dropped it off at fish and game for check in than off to taxidermy. I am still super thrilled even though t’s small it’s about 100lbs.
Just got my shoulder mount today
Very pleased with it.
