    Wow, what a hunt and what a story! You just can't put a price on an experience like that. For the record, I think you made the right decision on using the rifle. A .308 trumps any handgun round on the market when you've got a bear standing up while looking at you. Story may very well have ended differently if you hadn't used that rifle!


    Im not to sure, At 4 yards, a 308 pointing, vs a 45 ACP with defense ammo aiming.

    Either way, it obviously worked out because Im not bear poop right now, but hindsight being what it is, if I had pointed 4 inch's left or right that would have been a shoulder shot, not a center of windpipe/down through the lungs shot. I dont know what I was thinking not practicing my point shooting more.

    Plus, it would be kind of cool when folks ask what I killed my bear with and I said "A glock 45"

    Looked at the pics on instagram. The color on that bear is beautiful. And those views I see in the background are pretty amazing. Congrats. That's a fantastic story.

    I dont know how you did that, but thanks. The bear was standing where I am sitting in the above pic. In another pic you see me sitting at the base of a tree looking at the bear. That is where I shot from

    Just a screen shot off your Instagram page then uploaded to IMGUR.
