I went out looking to fill my bear tag, there's been one prowling around the area so thought I would test my luck
Get there before sunrise
And leave when the sun is coming down.
I was using my 30-06 with a 6x scope. BIG bullet on that thing lemme tell ya.
Came across this old abandoned tunnel in my travels, guess it's from when a rail line went through the woods. The rail is long gone by now tho.
Weird butt tree
Also came upon this waterfall. It rained pretty hard the night before so it was flowing fast.
I was mainly looking for bear, but I also had a buck tag that I wouldn't mind getting (mainly so I can make some venison jerky) so when a nice 6 pointer walked infront of my perch I took aim, fired... and missed. Oh well, that's why they call it hunting and not killing right? There's always next year.

Ooo nice! I'll have to bring you up here one year if you really want pretty scenery. Are you gonna go with a shotgun or rifle?

How on earth did you miss with a scope like that? Were the sights not aligned?

I'm honestly not sure. It was at a bit of a weird angle, and I think I just didnt take enough time to steady myself.

Its interesting the rail is gone, I saw the old rail still left on a line that had been shut down in the 60s here. If it wasn't cost effective to strip it out here I doubt it was there.

Probably pulled out by hicks when the price of steel was high

Burger and leafland are global anomalies in that the rail lines are 100% privately owned, as opposed to nationalized or open access. Often the RR companies will pull up the rail to reuse it somewhere else. Also many lines that were abandoned during the 1930's were dismantled during WWII scrap drives.
I should also note that may just be a culvert in the picture, maybe it's perspective but it looks much too small to be an RR tunnel. They would build a tunnel minimum 11' wide and 13' high,

Oh yea the rail was on top of the tunnel, it didn't run through it.

That line was at least a few miles long. I have no clue when it was ripped out or why but it certainly was gone.

Looks comfy. What do you do with a whole butt bear if you kill one?
Read what I wrote above. Now picture in your head that I put a /s at the end. Good job sweaty!

I wanna get a full standing mount, but thats probably gonna be like 3000 bucks to get done so probably eat most of it and get the pelt turned into a rug or something.

How is bear? I've eaten lots of animals but never bear. I smelled a bear once and figured they would have a strong taste

It does taste very strong, I've had it a few times. Its kinda like venison, and best used in other things like sausage or ground and seasoned.

I'm pretty sad that I've never been hunting, we live not really in the city but adjacent, so hunting really isn't a thing around here. My dad used to though, salty he never took me out.
