    Alaskan Brown Bear Down

    Well we finally put a good one down last night. Didn’t go the way we had planned at all. My hunting partner had work issues, so we had a really late meet up time… we decided we would just add bait
    and check the trail camera then go drink beer on the boat. Well as we got close to the barrel I see him throw his gun up and I see a big fuzz ball running away. His .338 lapua goes off and the bear is quartering away at 25 yards… He tries to put another round in and It jams. I’m behind and can’t get a shot. It disappears. I don’t hear an impact so we decide to give It 5 minutes. While my buddy checked the trail cam I got a little curious and went on point… went 20 yards from where I’d last seen him and the bear was done. This is a coastal brown bear. Not as big as a Kodiak bear but bigger than interior grizzlies. Squared out at 9’ and looks like the skull might make the minimum for B&C. We have 4 other brownies hitting the bait. Tomorrow is my turn! This bear has been trapped before. We found out who the biologist is that trapped him. Also while skinning him out, I found another bullet under his skin. It wasn’t ours lol.

              The .338 was a custom built gun from a guide friend of ours…They were new hand loads from another friend involved… Barnes triple shock, 225’s…. Learning lesson. Lol
