2016 Canadian Bear Hunt—He shoots--He Scores!
We just got back from a successful spring bear hunt which took place in and around the La Verendrye Provincial Park in Quebec. There were still patches of snow in the woods when we arrived and the ice had only recently gone from the lake.
First night out at 8:15 my bear appeared, stepping out of the brush—the sights on my old (1910) Remington 35 auto loader danced over the bear’s vitals, quickly settled in, and BOOM! Perfect hit just behind the front shoulder. please see pictures as attached....
My Nephew Danny saw nothing until the 3rd evening—a small sow with a cub. Then on the 4th eve he saw a nice bear that would not give him a broadside shot—it just laid there facing him for over an hour. Finally he took the head shot at 70 yards, with his scope sighted bolt action 7MM Rem Mag. We had a great time up there! And we both agree that the meat is absolutely delicious! Just be sure to cook thoroughly to avoid any chance of Trichinosis.
If you’d like to read more about other deer and bear I’ve taken with the old Remington humpback, grab a copy of my book—only $15 S & H included--just send me a PM!
