Earlier In this years Minnesota bear opener I only hunted 3 days. On a normal year I'd hunt at least 7 days straight If I was still without a bear. I'd also make another trip back up If needed. This year was different being some things came up with my business that needed me home shortly after the bear opener and also being I had a Colorado elk hunting trip planned for September 13th or so with the gang on here. Time wasn't on my side (I thought). The Colorado elk hunting trip was suppose to be a 10 day or so hunt for me. I ended up leaving Colorado 4 days early and headed home on the 16 hour drive back to Minnesota to hunt me some bear after I made a quick stop at home to say hi to the family and catch a few hours of sleep so I could head out again that evening for the 4.5 hour trip up north. Anyhow I made the right decision on leaving Colorado. I had 5 days to get It done and get myself a bear. Lost one day to rain, got dumped on with 4.5 Inches of rain In one day. On my very last day which was Sunday the cards finally fell In place. I did 2 things with this bear that I've been wanting to do for a long time. I hit double digits In bear kills and videoed my 1st ever kill. The bear dressed out at 160 pounds. Got both lungs and top of heart. He ran farther then I expected, he went 91 yards. The blood trail was awesome!!! My dad and I. I kneeled down and dad stepped on my shoulders. I then stood back up so he could read the scale to get the weight. We have weighed every bear we've shot the last 25+ years. I had no Idea someone was taking pics. Thinking time.
Nice Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Grandfather tried for a lot of years to Kill a bear in MI. He never did, well done !!!
