I had some buddies of mine that drew a bear tag here in Colorado and I was just gonna go with them as a pack mule. Fortunately there was some leftover tags that people turned in. We went down a day early to look around and found some elk and 1 bear. Opening morning we went out and saw about 5 bears that morning. That evening was a little slow until we were on our way to another location to glass and we came around a corner and this bear was on his way up the mountain. We stopped and I took off running after he made it over a little ridge. I topped the ridge and there he was walking away from me. I stopped and shot. Missed right over him crap!!!! He disappeared for a minute and then he reappeared heading straight up the mountain. I sat down got a solid rest and hollered at him he stopped and boom. Down he went and the rolling down started. Couldn’t be more happy with this brute. We had a great 4 days hunting tagging 4 bears out of 5. Can’t wait to go back.
