Bear Down

[moog5050]

Buddy from WI connected on a nice bear at 9yds from the ground. Said it got as close as 5yds.  That type of heart pounding action is awesome.  Lots of work constantly baiting but it paid off for him. Couldn't be happier for him.

I might add, no better way to break in the new bow!

Tell him I said congrats..  Nice looking bear.

Good for him! I absolutely love hunting bears over bait! Come at me

[BizCT]

Awesome! WI is known for some great bear hunting

This guy just flat out gets it done on bears and big whitetails.  This summer he said he wanted to kill a bear from the ground with a recurve.  4 hunts later ..... heart shot from the ground with a recurve.  Impressive hunter and really nice genuine guy.  Sent me a bow when my bow delaminated.

51lb Covert hunter.  50lbs from any bow is plenty with a good shot, tuned bow and sharp BHs.  Heavy arrows don't hurt either.

I know a guy that just moved to WI and set up a bear bait he had some good pictures of bear.  He always posts some dandy bucks from that state!

Lol - I am thinking how exciting is that.  Most non-hunters ask if the guy has a screw loose.

I'm going blackbear hunting this weekend. With a 30-06 and figured by glock .40 wasn't as good as my kimber .45 for backup. So yeah... exciting and screw loose go together I think lol.

Congratulations to your buddy! That's a nice bear! Taken with a beautiful recurve! We have a good population of bear in this area. And every year I ask myself, should I shoot one? So far the answer has been no! Upping it to a maybe for this year, for the right bear.

[dbHunterNY]
