Our first out, while we were up in the stand, a beautiful black bear walked into the clearing. I took the shot, and missed. It went high and the bear took off. Not 60 seconds later a second bear walked into the clearing. I aimed lower and shot. I could tell that I had hit it, but it also took off into the woods. I heard the same Chewbacca cry that you did. This shot was also clean through the heart, so it died quickly. Two of my cousins were also on the trip with us. The four of us each grabbed a paw to pick it up to carry it back to the trail. There must have been air trapped in the stomach or lungs because, when we lifted, there was a grunting sound. You never saw four people drop something so quickly! I'm so happy for you, Jeremy, and your kids for everything you are experiencing in Alaska.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379324841019889453noreply@blogger.com
