Lost bears...
« on: September 09, 2012, 03:30:35 PM »
Well its official, bears are not ment to be shot by a bow. My first bear I shot in the lung at 15yards in a treestand waiting for a buck, 2nd bear we were going down the road and passed a chocolate bear and I jumped out 25 yards down the road and got closer and took a 35 yard shot and I hit his lungs and he went around in circles and we couldn't find him because we couldn't tell where he was going. Now we are waiting for the birds...so if you have a blood hound and live near cle elum let me know!

If you got lungs he's close.... They can hide in the smallest and most hidden places right in front of you.....

True. But if you only got one lung - good luck. It isn't like single-lunging a deer or elk. Bears can live and breath from one lung (just like humans).
The chest cavity is small on a bear and it is not the easiest to double-lung. Especially on an angle.

 :dunno: One bear 1 lung + one bear 2 lungs = are you done killing things doctor or is there another bear you could shoot and guess which vital you hit :dunno:

Know when to say when?

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Is the "noteworthy" part of the signature tagged or wounded?

I don't think he would actually put the bears he just wasted on there do you...  :yike:


Not bashing, but when you have a guy spend 3-4 days looking for a deer with his wife and friends and feels bad about it and then someone just causually throws out there he has wounded 2 bears and let the birds have em' it sort of tells you alot about their integrity  :twocents:
