Washington State Black Bear down (October 2012) - video+pics

[shanevg]

I got this bear last week Wednesday but wasn't able to get all the pics and video edited until last night. Not a big bear by any means but I have two tags for a reason! It's also just been a very long year of blown stalks on bears and I'm glad to get one down before all the berries are gone in the alpine.

(Oops, this is the only picture I have loaded up to Photobucket and my computer is at home. I'll get more pics up tonight.)

Nice job. Looks like you had to put in a good climb to get to him.

Any bear is cool to me. Still on my bucket list. Congrats

Congrats on your bear. Any bear with that amount of work involved is a trophy in my book.
