Congrats!  I'm headed to Canada on my first bear hunt in June!  This has got me even more excited!  Very nice bear!

Congrats.. I personally hope I'm never that close to a bear..

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments.

I forgot to mention that I ended up shooting him at 11 yards (we measured it the next day).

Great story.  Thanks for sharing and congratulations.

Way to go Ken. That's one off the bucket list, what's your next adventure.
How did you make out on your moose hunt?

Very well done indeed, like how well you explained your thoughts.  Congratulations.

Great job and a great read.  Thanks for taking us along.

WOW! Way to go Ken!

I'm not a bit surprised. Thanks for sharing. 11yds what a rush that must have been!

wow!! what an animal!  I bet he would have been able to hear my heart pounding from 11 yards away!! lol

       

Sounds like a hunt of a lifetime, for you, photographer and the guide... I recall seeing an old Fred Bear video when the photographer dropped the camera and fled the scene.

Congratulations and thank you very much for taking the time to share your hunt with us.
