On the board!

Ended my bear season yesterday evening. Stuck this brute at 20 yards. My heart sunk a little when I stopped him and he turned towards me with his front leg back. Made for a tricky shot and less then ideal angle but 466 gr arrow with magnum slick trick punched through and exited right infront of the hind leg. My second biggest bear weighing 274# gutted. Roughly 320# whole weight. Extremely pleased with our bear oil stash after shooting skinny big bears for years.

Nice! Looks like a fatty!

Outstanding.  I love rendered bear fat (and ground bear, tbh).

I really would not mind finding another one before the season is over.

Was happy to see a bear thread here. I can contribute this year's photo. I have a strong color phase area so it seems through the years I have taken about as many chocolate and cinnamon color bear as I have black. With my upcoming spring hunt, I'm actually looking for a big black bear for a new rug. I have heard there are a lot of color phase bear in SE corner of the state as well though. it may not be easy, but that's my challenge.

In my time there hunting bears, I’ve seen way more colored than straight black.  Killed all the color phases in the blues,  you will love it. Gonna be tough though if you plan on using your crossbow, long shots there.

No I use that when I have designated funnels for them to travel in. I'll have a rifle just knowing I will have more open spaces.

Hope I can kill a bear!
