Shot opening day of archery OCT 4th. Just got back today. For perspective he is laying on a queen size bed.
That's sweet! I've never been bear hunting but that sure makes me want to. I could use one of those in my cabin...
Spear, if you ever get the chance to bear hunt take it. While the set up is similar to deer hunting it simply does not compare. You are sitting on your stand and you see black in the corner of your eye and you know a bear is coming your heart speeds up and you listen for a sound to try to figure out if the bear is coming, is it close. Bears amaze me how they can thru the thickest brush without making a sound. I have not bear hunted in many years but I am going to this year kinda stoked about it.
Sota is right it's amazing how SILENT bears are in the woods! I'm lucky enough to run my own bear baits here in Maine so I get to hunt every year! Rug looks great! How big was the bear?
It sounds exhilarating! I assume bears also travel with their nose? I will have to look into a hunt...bear and elk are two hunts I want to do sometime in my life.
Did you have to drag him at all? There is no such thing as a light bear if you have to drag it any distance.:D
