Last Chance For CITES Brown Bear Hunt!

[Rockwall205]

Nice bear, do you eat them?

Yes they are eaten .

Yes very successful! After hunting for nearly 40 years this was the quickest! I flew into Cluj - Napoca the night before and we drove up the following morning. We got settled into a very nice hotel with plans to meet the Ranger and complete paperwork that evening and hunt after. As we were pulling off to park for our walk into the hunting area we saw 4 bears . A big female with 3 cubs !

No wonder why there are so many bears. A female producing three offspring a year with no hunting for eight years that’s doubling or even tripling your population !

We got out and had to wait until they moved on . Not more than a few minutes walking up the road the Ranger spotted a bear he had been watching and said it’s a shooter . I got in a kneeling position for a steady rest and took the shot . He was broadside and slightly quartering toward our position. He rolled hit the ground but got back up as backup shots were fired as he went out of sight.

As we moved up he was spotted in the bottom of the creek walking towards us . I aimed at his chest but as I shot he lowered his head thus the hole in his skull!

Beautiful bear , the only issue for me was it was over just as it began! But when you’re given an opportunity to shoot an old boar you take it !

That skull looks pretty well intact for taking a bullet. Was there much more damage than what can be seen in the photo?

Also, Congratulations!

Yes, he is lucky that skull is intact. Most of them after a shot like that are in pieces. Also is a big skull scored 24,449 inches.
