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.

Hope you find him. If you need inspiration there is a deer thread you can revisit.

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:
