First bear
« on: September 25, 2012, 06:15:52 PM »
Well after several years I finally got one.  Not a big one.  He was wounded 2 days before by another hunter.  I helped this hunter track down bear twice before dark but he couldnt close the deal.  He said he would come back in morning but didnt.  I waited the whole day and nothing.  The second day I tracked him down and finished him.  He was shot in small int.  Poor guy.  Dont know if I can trust the meat but he will make a nice lil rug. 
MAGA!  Again..

Dang, this was one of those cringe at beginning and sigh of relief stories. I hate hearing stories about people not finding wounded game. I'm glad you were able to take care of it and get a nice bear rug out of the deal as well. Congrats on the bear and kudos on the follow up of that bear  :tup:

Thanks alot.  It was hard not going after it and waiting for hunter to return.  I dont understand why somebody would just walk away from wounded animal.  He was a young guy but seemed to be a great guy.  I missed a 45yard downhill shot on a very large bear a few days before so this redemption felt pretty good.  Archerys tuff when that darn buck fever kicks in. :bash:
