[QUOTE="BULLBLASTER, post: 696881, member: 41533"] i was able to take a bear in WA this year, spot and stalk... or spot and wait. my girlfriend and i got to a good glassing point at about 3 pm and were just looking and glassing and enjoying the view and around 530 we took a candy bar break from glassing and my girlfriend spotted a bear drpopping into a thick brushy patch. i immediately got set up behind the sendero and got on the brush and waited... then got bored and sat up. just as i sat up the bear popped out and into another brush patch. this happened multiple times through the next hour and a half until finally he went behind a pine tree and i thought for sure hed come right out. i was ready and aimed at the trail coming out from the pine for 10 mins and he never came. i sat up to rest my eyes and glanced down to our right and there he was sidehilling below us. i told the gf and off we went down to intecept him. spotted him crossing about 80-90 yards below us broadside i looked back to make sure the gf was ready and had her earmuffs on.. then back to the bear. i threw the gun up and aimed high shoulder and shot. the bear flopped over and kicked a couple times and was done. we waited 5 minutes before going down to retrieve him. he isnt a very big bear (around 120-130 lb) but i went wanting a color phase and saw the chocolate and had to shoot him! and its very hard to judge bear size in yellow grass...:rolleyes: the 215 grain berger really laid the boots to this guy. high shoulder shot with small entrance wound and a 4-6 inch exit wound. not much blood shot but just a hole. thanks for reading.
