Hunting Assignment – Manitoba Bear Hunting
I could tell that if he would just stand up I could… Certain features like bowed out front legs. Slow ponderous movements and outsized oversized hump indicates the makings of a big, big bear.
As the big Manitoba bear turned his head from side to side he occasionally looked square at us. I was watching him through the rifle scope.
I tightened the rifle sling high on my left arm and in a sitting position scooted out and down the hill a couple of yards or meters for a clear shot. Still sitting I put the cross hairs on the bear. And danged if he was not watching me all along. Wow I thought, maybe I am not going to get a running shot after all. But the bear seemed completely disinterested. I could not a shoulder, so I figured on breaking the neck. The flat footed faithful little 270 was rock-steady on his nose – and we waited. And waited. Finally the bear turned his head and I touched her off. The bear collapses as if he had been electrocuted. As a matter of fact, I had the sensation that he flopped so hard that he bounced a little.
The bear dropped spine up in some real low willows, being fall time at Lake Manitoba Narrows. The Manitoba willows partially hid the bear.
The first shot it seemed had broken his neck and jaw, and the other two the bear’s shoulders.
