My 2012 spring bear hunt
« on: September 24, 2012, 11:11:50 AM »
Well I am finally getting around to posting pics of my 2012 spring bear hunt. It was a great hunt. found a good set of sheds about 100 yards apart. Seen eight bears in one day. Got the shooting of my bear on film. Blrman was very steady filming with his new camera and new kickass tripod. Hope you enjoy the pics. I am going to try and post the video.

That's the exit. The bear was quartering away from me. Dropped in its tracks. Can't figure out how to post the video.

Yeah, I am getting a rug made. I passed up a small blonde bear about ten minutes before getting this one. I also seen two huge cinnamon boars but they were in the adjacent unit.

damnit wish I'd of spent the money and got my bear tag as well Nice sheds and grats on the bear.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Nice bear....nice color to it.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.
