Second bear tag filled with my 6.5 L.B.C

[6.5 Grendel]

I can say this my handloaded 120 grain PPU BTHP with 31.8 grains of Leverevelotion works very good. I was hunting the same area, I got my first bear in the beginning of the season. I hiked to the clearing and scoped it out all day only to see a few deer. As dusk started to come, I headed back through the timber. I no more than got 50 yards in and started hearing something snapping branches and such. I hopped up on a log to try and get a better view over the brush as I walked along the log some of the bark gave way. I fell hitting my right shoulder and instantly my arm felt numb. As I got to my feet, I heard teeth popping then saw the bear rushing towards me. The boar stood up about 15 yards in front of me...Full of adrenalin I raised my 6.5 and sent a shot right in his chest, bullet exited his right shoulder as can be seen in the picture. He dropped on the spot and let out the most terrifying death moan that echoed through the timber to send every hair on your body to stand-up on end. By the time I packed him out and got to the truck heading home...I realized I really screwed my shoulder up, it was hurting bad! I got home and called my son to come over and finish taking care of the bear. Next morning was soooo painful, I had the wife take me to urgent care. Come to find out I broke my right clavicle. Guess I am done hunting this year!
