first bear
« on: September 28, 2008, 04:08:16 PM »
Well the title says it all and here's the story.  I found a spot a few weeks ago that has about 20 apple trees in the middle of nowhere and at that time the apples weren't ripe yet.  Well I figured by now they might be close.  I get to the spot and there is bear scat everywhere, broken branches and claw marks on the bases of the trees.  So I find a good tree for my stand and climb it and about an hour later I turn around and there he is by one of the trees.  I had a clear shot about 25 yards but I decided to wait because he was heading closer for a better shot but then he turns around and heads straight away from me giving me no shot and he dissapears.  Never to be seen again (so I thought).  After 20 mins off kicking myself in the butt for being greedy I hear something and low and behold hes back and heading right for me.  He walks right under me and I guess he got a glimpse of me but he ran about 10 yards and stopped broadside looking right up at me and thats when I let the arrow fly.  I hit him a little high and he dropped in his tracks.  thanks for reading I know its long but I just wanted to share my story.  I'll load pics as soon as I figure out how.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Great looking bear texmex. Congratulations on that. The hide looks quality. Are you going to do a rug?
