Title: S#!*
Post by: Craig on August 01, 2009, 09:40:23 AM: I'm sitting here at work and got a phone call that my friends buddy just shot a bear about 40 yards from my camera and stand. He said he shot and the bear fell. Then after about 20 seconds it got up and took off. They got some help and are still looking for it in some thick stuff. I will let you know if they find it.
