Jolly Good hunting Baljit. To get a bear on the first day is fantastic.

"Can't shoot the stag (mule deer) and the doe" because the "Law does not allow it" reminds me of an interesting story from an old timer I heard.
Both these animals are standing broadside. Perfect for a shot . Yet you can't shoot them.
These animals are also more used to humans. What fun would it be even if you got them ......without much sweat and effort? You really can't call them "wild" in the true sense.
eg. Migratory ducks in a Reserve or a Park , would not be as wild as the ones you find elsewhere. What challenge would it be to shoot them anyways?Similarly animals in a reserve where hunting is not allowed would get really close to humans , while those in hunting reserves would be more alert.

The story (I was reminded of) is that of a tiger which once lived in a hunting block close to the earstwhile Haileys ( what is now Corbett) National Park. He was a massive guy who was really smart. He lived and hunted in the thick Saal jungles but the moment he knew he was being followed by Shikaris he would swim across the Ramganga to the range on the other side where hunting was not allowed. Hunters who stalked him and went after him "swore" that the fellow would always turn back and look at them once he had crossed the river, as if he were laughing at them.....and saying "Look I am on the other side now and you can't touch me here" . Smart fellow. He lived a long and fruitful life.

Hi Baljit,
A very nice first day.
I hope the following days will be as good as this one.
I have seen those black bears walking in BC near penticton. Beautifull animals.
Keep those pictures coming

Baljit,

Thank you for sharing.Did you shoot the bear or did you wring it's neck.Looks like you are capable of doing the latter, relative to the bear

Ouch.

Sharp as ever.

[prashantsingh]

Baljit looks "relatively" big. But if it were an unarmed fight I would put my money on the 167 pound bear. Any close ups of those sharp claws and long canines, Baljit ?
How old would this bear be ? Some of them can really grow big.

Nice and a great first day... where abouts is ur neck of woods and what rifle and ammo are u using??

[prashantsingh]

You know Rakshit. A Bear tag costs $25 for a resident of B.C.
This bear is a young fellow and Baljit is not getting the taxidermy done . What a waste. An animal this size in India would be a good trophy. Five and a half feet for an Indian Bear is a good size but not enough for a Canadian Bear. Baljit wants to shoot a bigger one. One more than 7 feet before he sends it to the taxidermist.
Talking about Bears. There is this most ridiculous, but true, story I have heard which I must share. There was this new hunter who went out to shoot pheasants in the jungles. A Himalayan Black Bear (known for its short temper) was unfortunately closeby. Unaware , and seeing some movement in the bush the hunter walked straight upto him. The bear came out of the bush, stood up on his hind legs (like a human), knocked the gun from the hunters hand with one paw, slapped him on his face with the other, got back on all fours and vanished into the bush. Those witness to the event couldn't stop rolling with laughter.

Baljit,
Congrats!! For the bear and good luck for the deer. I was also in mountains this weekend and was able to see some bear and deer too, it was real stormy and we saw the season's first snow too. I took my family out for their first deer hunt. It was really exciting. I spotted about 20 to 25 does and about 3 forkies, none were impressive enough for me to pull the trigger of my 30.06. Well here in California we cannot take the does anyways where I hunt. For the forkies, I just put them in my crosshairs and simply made a pow sound cause I do not want to shoot them and maybe let them grow so that I can take them next year.
I did see couple of bears too, Mama bear with two juveniles all were cinnamon in color. My 5 year old was so exited to see them she stared to jump with joy and they darted the other way, it was fun to watch.

Doc Sahab we have to sit down one of these days and talk about your hunting stories.... Yes its a shame that the bear is not going to a taxidermist at least a rug... However i understand that Baljit has the option of bigger better trophies so i ca see when have choice and freedom u wouldn't send every animal to the taxidermist..
I wonder when are we gonna really be a democracy .... or will w have to always go out to hunt and dream of good firearms and shooting.
