My son Cole harvested his first bear last week.We went to Manitoba.He killed him the first night.We had 3 different bears come in.Not the biggest bear in the woods,but a very nice haired animal.
Good ole Dad made him hold off on a brown colored bear which was the first to come in.I told him to be patient and let his nerves settle down.Sure enough,the bear didnt stick around very long.
I hunted 2 evenings with bow and passed up a couple bear,holding out for MR.Big.He didnt show up during day light though.
Im heading back up this coming week and try a few more days,I left 4 of my cameras with the guide and he says hes getting lots of pictures of good bear with all color phases,black,brown and even a blonde.Will have pictures when I get back.

Heres the first bear that came in.

Heres the one he shot,has nice white markings on his chest.Planning to do a full body mount with him.

Great job Cole !!!

Wow, congrats to your son! That white patch is neat too
