beardsandspurs Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I traveled to Digby, Nova Scotia to do a bear hunt with Morrells-Bigpaws. This was my first bear hunt and needless to say I was pumped! I arrived on Sunday but my rifle didn't and I couldn't hunt my first day but I made up for it on my second. Vic, my guide dropped me off at my stand at 5:15pm. All was quiet for the first hour and a half, then things changed! At 6:30 the squirrels behind me started raising cane and I new something was coming in! Fifteen minutes later I feel a presence in the woods with me, I cut my eyes to the left and I see a black form 10 yds. behind me! She comes to the bottom of my tree and then walks to the bait. I let her settle in and make sure no cubs are around. She gets some bait out and I let her have it with a round out of my .270 with 150 grn. bullets in it. At the shot it rolls her over, I eject the shell and she gives me the oppritunity to get another on in her which I did! She might have went 10 yds. and piled up! My guide wasn't going to pick me up until 8:00, so I sat back and just waited. At 7:15 I look right and there is a bigger boar bear just sitting there! He walks toward the bait and sees my bear laying on the ground, and changes his mind about going all the way to the bait. He goes back to were I seen him first and sits back down again. When my guide gets there he still doesn't want to leave, but he finally mossies on off. She squared 6 ft., 400lbs. of bear! Her head, with hide still on was 14 3/4 in. form tip of the nose to back of the skull! What a fantastic trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
