    Congrats! I'll be on the lookout for one this season more than ever since sightings around here are up more than ever.

    Thanks! Good luck, this was my first bear and it is quite a rush, more so than whitetail if you ask me.
    Good luck to you too pseshooter89!

    This is my first bear, I worked hard setting up a few baits and baiting them all summer. He only weighed 150 or so, but that's good enough for me. Average in ME is only around 120-130 anyways :tu:

    Justin, do you have any damage pics of what the Bloodrunner did to it. Was it the 2 or 3 blade???

    Congrats again on your first bear, I took my first this past August and it was a blast. Will definately do it again someday!

    No damage pics but I was amazed at the damage it did. It was the two blade. The entry wound was a little more than two inches and the same for the exit. Totally devastated the lungs, there wasn't much left other than some chunks and blood clots.
