Great story and pictures! Congrats on the nice bear. My son and I will be heading to NE Oregon next week to look for mr. Bear. Hope to have some luck like yours.
I keep threatening to apply over that way to chase those pretty color phase bears and to spend time in that country. Looks absolutely awe inspiring! Thanks for the pictures Ron.
I bet you will be chomping at the bit to get after a bear again....they kinda get in your blood. I never had interest in killing one till about 7 years ago and I can't get enough (at least in the spring) of them anymore.
