My First NH BRUIN!
« on: Sep 04, 2013, 10:12:05 PM »
I finally did it! I started serious Bear hunting 3 years ago. I grew up on the seacoast here and still live here where there is no bear population worth hunting and most I know have never seen one locally nor harvested one. I figured the best way to learn is to teach yourself so the last 2 years I started my own bait site and through trial and error I got pics on the cam at night and that was it. This year was different I had a little more knowledge and a spot 20 mins. from the house and got bears on camera in daylight yesterday. I sat 4 hours yesterday afternoon with just deer sightings and this morning for 4 hours with the same results.

I quietly snuck in at 4 PM today and when I got 15 yards from the barrel I could see a black triangle on top of the barrel? HMMM I don't remember that?  I eased my way to 10 yards and a bears head popped up from the barrel, I  clicked off the safety on my new 35 Whelen and fired and my first bear dropped a minute into the hunt! My first bear that I have worked so hard for the last few years was mine! not one of the big ones on camera but it is a trophy to me. 110 lbs. dressed!

My good buddy OL MOSSY HORNS got one tonight as well just up the road. Couldn't be happier for him his first bear as well dressed at 216 a real stud! We doubled on the same day last fall in Maine on some huge bucks not far from each other as well, here are a few pics!

No matter how big a deer is. You can only put a little piece on your fork at a time.
