An unsuccessful elk hunt this year, sad to say. An Indian Summer in Idaho made for some of the most unfavorable conditions ever. Dry, hot and noisy. We could've killed a hundred cows, but the bulls were sly and sneaky as ever.
My hunting partner and I me up under a large rock face for a little lunch and to plan the rest of the days hunt when out of nowhere a beautiful brown bear ran by. Technically an Ursus Americanus, this 300 lb. sow wasn't 15 feet away until she saw us. Wow! Bears are amazingly fast!! In the time it took me to see her, get up, flick off safe and fire, she was a good 25 yards away. Loaded up on berries and fat, this little girl tastes mighty fine.
I'm the ugly one on the right - my buddy - the uglier one on the left.
Rifle: Weatherby Vanguard .308 Win.
Scope: Nikon Monarch Gold 2.5 x 10 x 50mm
Load: 180gr Failsafe over 44gr of WW 748
