Did anyone shoot this arrow at a bear in Huckleberry?
« on: May 05, 2013, 09:44:11 AM »
The bear had a healed scar behind his shoulder. I went to pick up the meat from the butcher and he gave me a piece of arrow and spinal of my bear. I boiled the spin and cleaned the pieces of the arrow. It is a carbon fiber arrow with black and white camo. The broad head is a G5 Montec. Who ever shot the bear came very close to the spinal cord. The ribs where the broad head ended up healed up and look a lot bigger. Wow bears are tough. I was just hoping to here the archer's story. I was hunting the 2013 spring bear season over in Huckleberry unit 121.

That's pretty cool, it would be neat to hear the other guys story, sweet to see it come to full circle. Nice job.

:yeah:

Maybe it was Uncle Ted, he comes to WA every year to hunt black bears.  Though, he usually hunts with the Quinalt tribe over bait.   :bash: 
I saw a guy a couple of years ago hunting late archery deer in the 101 unit with a Ted Nugent signature bow with Nuge arrows.  All of his gear (bow, arrows, release, sights etc) was in the Nuge zebra stripe pattern.  Hey, it actually blended in really well with the snow!  Maybe it is the same dude?   :dunno:  :chuckle:

My Dad and Sister went on a guided bait hunt with the Quinaults a couple years ago, they were told the Nuge loses a lot of bears up there on the Peninsula.  :dunno:  :chuckle:

I shot a bear years ago with a trophy bonded bullet 180gr out of a 300win almost straight down at 350 yards...dropped the bear.. short story never found the bear and heard it walking away and no blood..2 1/2 days later I found the bear 500 yards from where I shot it feeding on a hillside! 1 shot and dropped it...you shoulda saw the hole in this bears back on his shoulder blade I almost could get my fist in it the side of the spine, shoulder blade were gone and you could see into the bears chest ! that was the last time I ever used those bullets..it exploded and if it woulda held together that bear woulda been killed the first day

.....or the guy might just keep quiet because he shot it over his deer bait from a treestand.......kinda the angle into the spine I'm seeing..... ;)

A buddy's friend that baited back in the day and guided to said the same thing. Tree stand hunter over bait or a lucky hunter off a trail. It had to have been a couple of years ago because the spine, ribs and wound healed good.

LOL, wasn't jumping to any conclusions, my mind works a little differently and it was just a thought.
