I've been hunting hard for a bear this year, have seen a few, but it all came together this morning: 7 yard shot-double lung and 20 yard recovery. I'm super-pumped as it has been 7 years since I have taken anything with a trad bow.

Nice color on that one......well done.

I called in a much bigger one yesterday but he never offered a shot. I hesitated a bit on this one but "a bird in the hand", you know?
