i shot a bear tonight and there is good blood little bit away from were i shot him recovered the arrow had dark blood on it. and how it looked i shot little high and back, and im thinking it was around the kidney area. but it was under the spine. i was wondering if that is a lethal hit or no? thanks
How high and forward did you hit? If its forward but high you should still be good. How far was he from you and how high up were you?
im 20ft up and i say he was about 15 or 20 yards from me,but it looked like when i shot he stepped forward and it kinda looked like behind the ribs but real close to the spine, maybe 20 yards from were it was they was blood in a line for a good ways then it stoped
Does the arrow smell like guts? any bubbles in the blood? if you hit near the front leg and high then you are good.if its farther back then prob not so much. hope you find him
pass through no bubble dont smell like guts, but its dark and it has like dark blood balls on the arrow i dont know if thats kust skin but the arrow was soaked in blood but i looked at my trail cam. and it was right behind the ribs and inch or so under his spine,see this is the first time bear hunting.
sounds like liver to me. you definitely need to aim higher on a bear than you do a deer, so you're probably good there. on the bear i've shot, the stomach is much smaller than a deers, and the liver is back a bit further than a deer.
