Deer/ Bear hunt :(

[Five Seasons]

i didn't. but who cares? I know it's the rules and you've never seen me post anything offensive and never will but I've seen the tone and morality of both your posts in various threads discussing various topics over the past few months and you both strike me as high and mighty, preachy and the type of people I'd assume write letters to the makers of South Park for offending you.

that's all. lets not derail this thread and agree to disagree on "what's a big deal, and what's not"

If your any kind of shot you did hit it , and yes the hair soaks up a ton of blood before it will drop to ground, not to mention the fat plugging holes. i just got one and it didn't bleed for 200yrds. 1st shot was at 5 ft, and 3 more at 10-20 yards, all hits and no blood for 200 yards... thankfully i had snow!

Looks as though you have derailed it when you didn’t even see the whole post. Do not assume you know what I might do in my personal life.

the fat on a bear is much different than that of a deer and will plug up a lot quicker. amazing how many inches they store for the winter. I bet that one you took wuold be 100# lighter come spring. Lot to be said for a shoulder shot to anchor it if there isn't snow...assuming you have a choice...lol

I've seen big bears out of the stand, and I won't take em. Too much of a pain hauling out, finding a butcher, and I'm not a fan of bear meat anyway, so why take it. But to show you how nervous you can get at the sight of one; One of our members years ago, I'm sure he always got the fever anyway, spotted a bear coming across his knoll. He picks up the gun, goes to point it out the window, forgets he has it closed, puts the muzzle through the window, crash, he jerks the gun back in yelling "@#$%", while bringing it in, it's aiming up, the gun goes off, "Double !@#&&"!!! With that the bears takes off and is gone. He told us that in the morning, we all could just imagine what that scene must have looked like, and by the time I got to the restaurant that night some 12 miles away, the bartender starts telling me the same story. Man, news travels fast.

I saw tsomething similiar happen to a guy on a buck....He had never shot on and I watched him dump his lever action 30-30 at the deer and couldn't figure out how he missed. I had to pick up the rounds and prove to him he hadn't even squeezed the trigger. He had buck fever so bad he never pulled the trigger...just operated the lever. He doensn't hunt any more...lol
