Bear Camp Success - And to think this portion of the hunt is just the tip of the iceberg for how epic our trip was this year! A huge huge shout out and thank you to for sticking it out until the bitter end with me and for those eagle eyes…you’re an absolute hunting animal bro! Go follow this stud!
Sequoia spotted this guy at 1400 yards and we tried to make a play on him, but vanished into the thick draw behind us in these images before we could get into a good position. Like clockwork he stepped out the next evening just as we hoped for that fresh mountain grass…but this time we were ready and waiting across canyon at 725 yards. One clean and ethical top-of-heart shot with Sequoia’s custom .300 Win Mag / hand loads of 200gr ELD-X got it done!
Super stoked on my first Idaho black bear. Absolutely beautiful creatures God has created for us to enjoy, and Peppercorn as we named him is going to be so delicious with absolutely zero meat wasted. 4 miles of intense & rugged terrain recovery, but the hard work is what makes it a memory of a lifetime.
More to come…
