I just talked with Curt Yeager, my hunting partner that accompanied me for this hunt. I coud not remember the area or name of the bay we were hunting in and he told me it was called Port Chatham, which is located about 40 miles south of homer on the Keni Pennisula.
A question was asked about the shot distance and shot angle...I'm imbarased to say it was right at 20-22 yards slightly up hill, with a broadside shot. At the hit, the bear spun a couple times and quickly headed into the brush,,,and headed up hill. :rolleyes: :( Then the excitement really kicked into "High Gear".
I would like to add, that it tears me up inside when I cause an animal to suffer before duying as this one was forced to do, and to that I truley do appoligize to you to you the readers and most of all to the bear.
