Jeff set out to take a black bear with his bow, but after this disgruntled bear eased into close range, Jeff decided it may be in best interest to grab the Marlin .45-70 for backup. After attempts of flailing his arms, yelling at the bear, and standing his ground, Jeff was left with no choice but to take the bear with a gun.

Jeff has made a living chasing predators all around the world, but that is one hunt that will forever be vivid in his memory bank!
