My first bear with a bow
« on: Aug 06, 2005, 06:18:13 PM »
That should start this thread, so that later I can post the picture.

No.....I haven't taken one yet. The DEC opened up my area to bear hunting. I plan to hunt long and hard. We have several bear on the property and others that cruise through.  I have personally seen 3 in the last 4 years while deerhunting this property, but wasn't allowed to shoot.

I have always wanted to harvest a bear. Don't really care whether it is with bow or gun, but would prefer with bow. Anyone have a link on how to field dress one?

Hey that looks like an oppurtunity. I posted this before but I'll do it again. Here is my first one got him this spring in Manitoba, We can bait here so with a rifle it just seems a little too easy. Got him a 20 yds and he ran 30 
He scores 20 3/16.

I harvested my first bear, yesterday. dressed out at 212 pounds. Some friends and I chased him with hounds for 4 hours till we got him treed. I shot him with my brand new PSE Firestorm lite bow, Bemman ICS Hunter 340 arrows and a 100 grain Sonic Head broad head from American Broadhead Company. Everything went perfect!! I got a double lung shot that sent him reeling in the tree and finished him off with a second arrow thru the spine - right between the shoulder blades. He was dead before he hit the ground. My buddy took this picture   -  big fun!!
