My 9 yo son kills his first bear
Let me tell you about the best day I've ever had in the woods.
My 9 year old son and I have hunted together now for a few years and this is only the 2nd year he has hunted with his .243. He hadn't shot at anything just yet, but we've been oh so close.
Well, we went deer hunting yesterday morning. It was fairly slow most of the morning until about 8:45. Then we have a small bear (100 lbs.) come up within 25 yds of us. We couldn't shoot because of a nearby house that was down range of the bear. But he was on him with his gun/scope ready to shoot. So we left the woods that morning with an exciting story to tell everyone.
That afternoon we were hunting a different area and had a small spike come out in the field. He shot at 130 yds. and we thought he had hit him. But we looked for blood/hair and couldn't find anything. So we decided to go check a nearby creek and see if he went for the water. We never found any sign of a hit or the deer, but while we were there, we had this bear walk up on us and Chase took a great free hand shot. With a great blood trail, we found him after he ran about 125 yds and piled up.
We had several of our friends with us when we found him and the excitement we shared was unexplainable.
A great time was had by all of us, especially me and Chase. A great animal for him to take for his first kill. A memory he and I will share forever!
