My client got back his spring 2022 AK Brown Bear from his Taxidermist. we bag this big guy on first day 51 yards behind our tent. I got up at day light (birds singing) made a fast jet boil cup of coffee and out the tent i went. not even 10min I spot movement behind our tent. med size sow. I moved quickly back to the tent and got mike high alert. the bears where close. although I did not see the bore. I knew he was gunna be around. it was spring, and love was in the air. we moved left of the tent. the sow pop up on a small burm. the looking behind. I could tell she was getting bumped by the bore. 1 min later! up pops the big guy. Mike said what do you think. I looked him over quickly. it was big. looked good. I simply said...SHOOT the big one! 51 yards on my range finder. 4 hits with a 300 win mag. I was there backing him up with my 375 ultra mag sporting 300grs. I never shot. not a bad first day. I called on the Sat phone for the Super Cubs to pick mike and his bear up. it was a short one day hunt with a friend I have guided before. but rewarding with one happy hunter! enjoy! last photo is me...your humble AK Glide...FNC

If this story was about a deer in MO, everyone would ask if you were able to get the stakeout rope off it before the hunter noticed.
Just kidding. That's a whompin size bear. A sow and this big boy within 50 yards of your camp? Had you considered that maybe you and your hunter were the post nuptial breakfast entrée?

VERY good bear.
Sometimes you just get lucky!

Do you have the details on the bear's measurements? Weight? Height? Squared?

Good thing you didn't sleep in with them being so close to camp. Is that a 10mm 1911 in your hand?… good thing you didn't have to use it at short range!
