09 Co bear

[sneakem]

Not a bruiser but a bear any how... Not much to the story as it was a very short hunt. My buddy Al and I snuck off for an evening, didn't even have time to change out of our good clothes. Grabbed my orange, my rifle and a Coke and we were off. Several bears had been working a trail in between a few ponds, and seemed like a good place to be as we had been sighting them on a regular basis. Walked 10 minutes from the truck to the trail, saw fresh tracks since it had rained earlier and decided we were in the right spot. Set down with a good view of the trail in both directions and no longer than 2 minutes passed and elk come busting out of the timber. We look at each other and he says " you know what that means". I chuckled quietly and replied "yep" as I flipped the safety off the 338. 15 seconds later I catch a glimpse of the bear headed my way down the trail. I had a few clear shots at the bear but I decided to let him get close....100 yards.... 60 yards...40...30...19.... BOOM!!! Lights out! Fun hunt... Glad to have my bud with me...wished I would've had the video camera... would've been perfect.

Great bear Sneakem. I think the tie and penny loafers made the hunt that much cooler.

Dapper and dashing hero shots. Metrosexuals in the woods?

Looks like a decent noggin on him.

The bear my friend killed last year sent a elk herd running in front of him as well.
