Thanks guys!
Not much of a story really. I was in my stand when this guy was pushing a nice sow who wanted to eat at the bait while all he was interested in was her. The decision to shoot was a no brainer. I took the shot and watched him run off about 10 - 15 yards, slow to a walk for another 10 - 15 yards. I watched as he stopped, his back end sunk down then his front end followed by a quiet exhalation of air and the woods was silent once again. Silent that is except for the sow that kept coming back to the bait for another 15 min. or so. I could see the bear was down so when she finally left I was able to get down and go take a look.
piggy - You nailed it. It is a green stretcher. The outfitter uses the stretcher to carry bear out of the woods. However, the bear was too big for the three of us (the owner, guide and I) to get the bear out so we came back after dinner and used an Argo to knock down a trail to the bear and took it out that way.
I have to thank Dave Cole of TSI for putting me in a position to get this guy.
