2026 bears

Got to my site Thursday, rebaited, switched sim cards, and was sitting at 6:10 PM. Saw that a blonde boar with a hurt back leg had been using the bait the night before, maybe the same bear that sniffed my camera previously. was sitting for just over an hour when I peaked over at the bait and this chocolate was sitting in front of it. His head looked enormous from 50 yards away so I got into the rifle and popped him! My first bear and I am pummped. I gutted him that night and came back with my buddy and his horses the next morning.

I thought for a minute my evening hike was going to get ruined by having to deal with a dead bear. Spotted the bear at about 70 yards kind of quartering towards me and it was just big enough I thought it might be worth a long night and a long pack. Watched behind it for a few minutes and wasn’t seeing any cubs but it also wasn’t an obvious big boar so I wasn’t in any hurry to shoot. She finally saw me dinking around with my phone and changed her posture and when she did a yearling went up the diagonal alder over her back. Cool to see but it turned around quick and I wasn’t able to get that picture unfortunately. Picture was from 57 yards and luckily I was packing my 30-30 so she was within range but not interested in killing a sow. Beautiful bear!
