Much larger bear. Wife saw it first. Grabbed the ole 870 supermag. Cramming three standard 2 3/4” 6 shot in the mag. Went out on the porch and seen it go behind the chicken coop on the right. I waited a couple minutes and he popped up 15 yards behind and to the left of the coop. He stood up on his hind legs. He looked to be taller than me and I’m 6’. The shot gun had a super tight turkey choke in it. I took aim on his nose and reeled around and disappeared. With my 41 GNR on my hip and shot gun in hand I slipped around the backside of the chicken coop. He took off to my left down hill to cross the drive way. Bam! Put one on his backside at about 60 yards. Talk about running fast.
The first shot I know stung him a bit. I believe from the water spray off him and the foliage around him it hit him mostly in the neck and chest. We just had a rain shower. Hope I don’t see him again unless it’s hunting season.
