Shot this bad boy friday night ranged at 227 yds..ya way up in WMU 19 ...you can see the shoulder shot...took out the top of his heart with a 140 grain nosler accubond with my .270 wsm...very happy with the performance using my new cartridge...he was down within a few seconds with the classic death moan...
I hunted 3 days. First day I had an amazing size giant feeding at well over 400+ yds....got a stalk on him and closed the distance to a hundred for a lay down rest shot and couldn't get the cross hairs on him...he started foraging towards me and then his head went up quick and walked off into the cover...that was a WOW moment...
This bear was perfect size for eatin and taxidermy. He dressed out at 230 so add 17% gives you a 270 lb bear.
Ya to sum it up the action was great...I seen 5 singles.. 4 were shooters...far better reward then huntin over bait... The walleye and trout fishin was also good numbers and quality. lots of wildlife too.. from moose to sandhill cranes...highly reccomend makin the trip...and inexpensive too.
