Lost bears...

[grizzlyadams]

I think you should have been done after wounding/killing one and not being able to find it.

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.

Tension Pneumothorax.  Infection.  Hemothorax due to secondary wounds from primary trauma.  We can live but it won't be long.

Just a combat medic's standpoint.

As far as the original post though... How long are you tracking these bears before you give up??  I've searched the same area over and over only to trip on a bear before.  For some reason they can just really blend in well.

Well? Have you stuck another? Out of arrows? Found any of them?

I just found this thread.

You have got to get back out there and find those bears.  You owe it to the animals and yourself.  Luckily you can get a second bear tag.  Did you try to follow the blood trail?  If/when it ends, look for other sign - fresh trails, broken brush, scat, etc.  Look for the most minute blood drops - as small as the tip of a pencil.  You will be surprised at what you see when you spend the time looking in detail.  Get as many people as you can to help you.  Bribe them if you have to.

  Either this guy just embarrassed the crap out of himself and isn't responding or this is a bogus post started be some hippie just to see what our reactions will be

Starting to look like that. Could be somebody cranky about something hoping to add another thread that would simply incite negative comments.

If this is a real post and there are really 2 wounded bears out there.....lets hope no one runs into them.... 

I hate seeing threads like this! If you arent going to put in the effort to find the animal then please dont take the shot!

the OP posted up a deer he killed he said he is hunting in the cle elum area and from looking at his profile he posted this thread and has not been online since....I was not joking when I told him I would help look but seems he isn't around we may or may not learn the real story...

  Either way if it is a bs post or he did shoot two bears, its still a bs post because he should be reevaluating his hunting skills.

Maybe he's using Wasp broadheads?

I think the point is that it should have only been one bear....the first one. Unless you bought a second tag. If you make what you think is a lethal shot on an animal, but can't find it. You should consider yourself tagged out. Especially with an arrow! I think anyone can understand if it was a rifle. Then there is at least the possibility of a clean miss or only a flesh wound. However a lungshot with an arrow is death eventually, even with a bear.

Wow 9 whole hours you should be commended on such a great effort   

Did you read N7XW's story, did you see people have offered to help you do the right thing 

I don't even know what to say to this poor explanation.... 

And I really hope your noteworthy isn't for the 2 bear you gave up on

9 hours is ample IMHO. We have all lost game.

[washelkhntr]

Are the two bears you lost the same two you are claiming as a trophy?

As seen from under your profile avitar. . .

Noteworthy- 2 Bucks, 2 Bear, 1 Bobcat, All Archery


Just currious.

We are all different and if you think you killed an animal and 9 hrs is enough time looking for the animal you think and tell people you killed notch the tag and call it good. IMHO=
