These 2 first time bear hunters were pretty pumped with there bears. April waited it out for a nice black passing on multiple colours all week. Cassie (California dreams) first big game harvested. He shot this bear the first 15 minutes of his hunt with his father in law beside him. He shot it with a antique gun from the early 1900s.
