First By Bob D'Angelo busted out. They stopped and looked back, then a bear lumbered into view about 100 yards away. Conrad took aim with his new Tikka .308, putting the scope's crosshairs on the bear's shoulder. He was just ready to touch the trigger when a shot from one of the drivers rang out and the bear disappeared. Conrad saw a bear running up the mountain, realizing it was a second bear before the radio crackled. "Bear down." When the group came together, it became evident the second bear cut between two of the standers in thick cover. But the next three drives produced no bear sightings. Returning to the vehicles for lunch, the group made plans to push a large section of mountain that would take most of the phy in 8 days JULY 2018 3
