Milton Miller, 97, shot his black bear from just 12 yards away. He'd been hunting from the same ground blind for four days straight.
Miller’s blind was set up on private land owned by his friend Joel Blohm, who has property next to Milton’s 80 acres in northeast Michigan’s Alcona County. That Monday afternoon, Miller headed back into the woods alone, driving an ATV a half-mile from his cabin to the blind. He parked and walked the last few hundred yards, and settled into the blind about 3 p.m. Towards the end of his sit, Miller says a bruin walked right by his blind to hit the bait as he waited for a second and larger bear to walk closer. When the bigger bear was just 12 yards from Miller’s blind, he put the crosshairs of his .270 Mannlicher rifle behind the animal’s shoulder.
