Got it done this week!

[Lasiter]

After 5 days chasing bears spot and stalk in Idaho my buddy and I both got it done on the last day of the hunt. 405 yard shot with my 270wsm put it down. Spring bear hunting is a sweet deal isn't it? It kind of fills that gap in the year between coyote hunting and scouting for deer and elk.

Congrats. My hunt didn't go as well. I grazed a cinnamon bear on the Montana side of the line.

Very nice. Info on your rifle & cartridge?

Browning X-bolt medallion 270wsm with a 3-15x56 Leupy VX5HD. Shooting Hornady Precision Hunter with the 145gr eldx. I bought a box of this stuff when I bought the gun to sight it in with the intention of developing some handloads for it and it shot 1/2" groups, so I keep feeding it precision hunter ammo.

Congrats Figjam! That is one nice looking bear, great color too, I love the brownish and cinnamon looking ones. And that is one big Grizz right there. Nice memories Sir.

Great job, Figjam! Beautiful bear! I am insanely jealous, I've always wanted to but just never got the time & money together at the same time. Congrats, that's going to look great wherever you put it.
Cheers,

What are the plans for the meat. I smoked the quarters with bone in on my last one. Was amazing!

Beautiful bear! How did the 145 work at 400 yds? Pass thru, recovery of bullet, blood trail?
I have 145's but am apprehensive to shoot them at high velocity out of my wsm. Guess I'm just worried about blow up and blood shot meat if I hit some under 150 yds. The 200 grain did great out of my 300 wm but that's 2980 fps not 3200. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks. And great job on the bear hunt!

Had the opportunity to glass this big ol grizzly across the canyon in the spotter. No the best pic, I was just holding the phone up against the spotting scope. Also saw some big grizzly tracks on top of our footprints from earlier in the day....I wear a size 13 and they made my feet look small! Lol.
