Machias, you have a couple dandies there!  Can't wait to see an ATL picture.
Nice critters.

That is a giant spring bear Machias.  His belly would probably be dragging on the ground come fall.  Too bad you are going to have to stick an arrow in him.

That's a tank hope you can let the air out of him

[Machias]

A friend of mine is currently in the stand, I would love to see him smack either of the boars.

[Boss .300 winmag]

HI hope you showed him photos of what to arrow. 

[carpsniperg2]

[bearpaw]

Good luck, hope he smacks a good un...

This thread is making me wish we could bait bears here. Hurry up and shoot one of those big ones will you.

[Machias]

Well, unfortunately, this is my friends first year bow hunting, classic new bow hunters mistake, he did not bend at the waist and sadly shot right over two different bears last night. One mid-size bear and one bigger bear.  He was beating himself up last night, but it is a common mistake for new bow hunters.  He's a good Hunter and will learn from last night.  At least they did not freak out and walked off not really knowing what happened and we're back on the bait later in the night.

Is that stand occupied at this moment. They'll be back. Can't wait to see a few of those big Idaho bears down.
