Default Bear Down

This is my first Bear. Taken in southern Oregon last friday. He has an awesome red coat. Looks like a Grizzly!

I filled my spring bear tag in Lake creek between Medford and Ashland the first week in May. We filmed another bear being taken along the Umpqua River.

I shot him near Gold Beach in the biscuit fire area. I shot him with a 30-06 @ 75 yards. I used a 165 grain partition behind 61 grains of reloader 19. I just took a stand in an area that looked good and he came walking in munching on clovers and dropped him. Quartering tward me, I shot through his front shoulder and right through the vitals.

He is a young bear but a trophy to me. I guessing maybe around 190 to 200 lbs or so. I am not sure as I forgot my fish scale at home! But his hides at the taxidermy and all the meat is in the freezer! I am going to smoke the hams this weekend!

Pretty bear, Congrats! Nice claws on the thing,too.

How hard is it for a non-resident to draw a tag up there? Or is it OTC?
