one of the nurses husbands was in his tree stand Friday with his trusty marlin 45/70

I think he was using factory 405s

he started shooting and put four into it....wisely stayed on the stand for quite a while , called his son and they found it piled up in the brush, not far away and already stiff

quite a big bear, they are processing the meat too. estimated its curb weight was about 1000 pounds

Nice bear!

Wow, that's a big paw

That rifle looks like a toy laying on that bear. Awesome.

I thought "spring bears" were skinny after the long winter.

What does a "fat bear" look like?

A man needs to have a big tree handy in case he needs to spend the night.

come down for several hours after shooting that bear.

I think that was a very wise plan.
