Bears are fast. It was still a bunch of fun spending a couple of days in the mountains.

I did not have time to take a well placed shot so I passed. My cousin almost squeezed off a round, but he had drawn his gun a second before I had and is a much more experienced hunter. Taking a running shot at a bear with a handgun is beyond my skill and comfort level. I cannot believe how fast those big animals can run.
The wheel gun is a S&W 460V.
Thank you. I wanted to take a camera, but wanted to save weight. So the phone camera had to do.
