Congrats on your bear...nice one!
I've often wondered what I would do if I actually shot a bear. I've never been around anyone that has killed one. What is the standard protocol after shooting a bear? Anything special?
The reason I'm asking is we have one running around where I live...and its pretty big. 300+ for sure. In the stand I was in yesterday, there were two scat piles within about 10yds of it. I wouldn't shoot one unless it was a big one - but was actually wondering yesterday what the heck I would do with one if I shot it! LOL
