Nice looking bear... I had one at 35 yards last year while hunting on foot... There was too many branches between him and I for an arrow to make it through; I didn't want to risk wounding him with a bad shot and/or pissing him off to come at me...

Thanks for all the nice replies! It was an exciting time I soon wont forget. I've shot several out of tree stands with rifles long ago when baiting was allowed and that wasn't anything close to the rush of this kill!
I was pleased with the pics my self as I took them using the self timer with the camera propped up on my backpack.

Those were some pretty nice pics. The Bear just looks like he's sleeping, lol.
So tell us is there atleast a soft tan in the future for this Bear hide considering it is your first Archery Bear?

Really nice bear, congrats on taking it with a bow, that is a feeling that never goes away. No matter how many you take.

Nice job! I want to get my first bear bad this year. Hopefully I can find the time... I'm guessing with all your expeditions you're not married?
