Post Who needs bear dogs to kill a nice bear
Took this bear this morning on my property. Male bear, Weighs 180 pounds, not a monster, but I was happy with him. 1st bear I ever killed with the white V on his chest. Used my 308 savage bolt action, one shot in the chest at about 10 yards, amost a self defense shot...lol

It was a matter of setting up my trail cams and taking my rifle along just incase I seen a bear.
