Finally got my GA bear
« on: October 02, 2006, 12:59:00 PM »
After over 9 years of trying I finally got my bear at Cohuta Sat.  Went farther in then I had gone before and found him on top eating acorns.  Made a stalk and set up and he worked right to me.  Shot him at 15yds, and absolutely pin wheeled him right in the crease of the shoulder with my BW, Beman MFX Classic and Muzzy 125 4bl. he did not go far.  Took over 3 hours to get him out, but it was well worth it.  E-mailed some pics to Rob to put up for me.  Thanks, Mark

That's awesome Mark! I've seen quite a few bears in Cohutta, it certainly has a healthy population. Sounds like I got a few more years of seeing em before I can make it come together like you did, though....9 years, that's stickin to it for sure! Can't wait to see the pics.

Wow!  That is the way I want to kill my first bear with a bow, at eye level and spot/stalk.  Congratulations.  Can't wait for the photo.

That is awesome Mark!  I can't wait to see the pics.  This was my first year at Cohutta, and I was surprised at what I saw.  There is bear sign pretty much everywhere you look.  I noticed it high, and I noticed it low.  I know you are excited to get results after all the hard work you put in, and I am sure it was all worth it!  Maybe we will run into one another in the hills in the future.  Good luck with the remainder of your season.

Way to go Mark!  Like Neil, this was my first Cohutta trip.  And not likely my last.

Great job Mark,nice bear. I live near the Tenn. side of the same Mountains you are hunting. Our side is the "Bear preserve" where we are not allowed to hunt them. Spot and stalk in those Mts. is pretty tough. I can only imagine the drag out. I'm sure you earned that bear.  :thumbsup:
