Title: my first Bear!!!!
Post by: VAHUNTER on October 08, 2011, 09:37:39 PM
over the past couple years we have had a increase in bear in our area.
i have had opportunity's to take a bear in rifle season and Blackpowder. but never while bowhunting until yesterday morning.
it seemed like a dream as i watched him appear from the thicket on the mountain i was hunting.
i took him at 18yds. after the shot he only went 20yds before he expired.

he weighed in dressed at 200# and measured over 5'

Best bear is a dead bear. We are covered up with them up here in WI but it takes years to get a tag in the unit I am in, I have a ton of trailcam pics of bear and one with 4 bear in the same pic, don't make sense that it takes 8 years to get a tag.

Congrats on a nice bear!
