Just helping save fawn lives

[Dwreckers]

My 2020 Washington East side bear. Not a big bear by any means but just helping save the fawn population. Not much of a story on this one. Got invited to go to muzzy deer camp and since I don’t own one, I bought a bear tag on Friday the day before muzzy season opens.

On Saturday a good buddy missed a 3x3 whitetail with eyeguards due to a hang fire. After a few hours there we were moving spots on a logging road when we spotted this little sow up the hill. She stood out like a sore thumb with a white patch on her chest. As I ran up the loose dirt embankment and reached the top I actually slid halfway back down. When I made it back to the top I was able to prone out and make a single 100+ yard shot.

I understand the saving fawns thing, but that's some good eats and a respectable success in it's own right. Bear sausage, canned bear....

So far it was very tasty! We made fresh bear stroganoff that night with mushrooms and onions and boy was it delicious!

Take 'em as they come & don't look back as to why's, or how's. Nice bear.

I was stoked! Definitely don’t see many bears as I never target them so just need to learn to field judge!
