WOW!! I am overwhelmed with the responses. It makes the extra effort of putting it on here very worth while. I feel extremely fortunate and blessed to have my hunt end this way.
To answer a couple questions: Blackstick, use a Canon S3 IS. And yes I love it. It takes great still photos as well as the video.
Now for post mortem. My first shot hit the back leg at about the elbow and came out righht behind the pad. I screwed up and didn't take pics of all this. The second shot that I thought was money...wasn't. It hit the bear forward of where I thought. It hit him in the neck. Unfortunately for me it didn't hit the spine, windpipe or jugular. But it hit some vessels. So between that and the wound in the paw it left a great blood trail for a while. That's also how I was able to keep on it so long. The wound on the foot kept opening up. The final shot, was sweet. I don't remember drawing or releasing. I just remember picking the spot. He was quartering away, so I picked the off leg. Next thing I know my arrow is buried to the fletch in the exact spot. A shot I will never forget. That shot took out both lungs and some goodies above the heart.
My equipment for those who are interested, was:
my homemade longbow 66" 62#@29" (when I draw it that far LOL!!)
Fir arrows with onestringers wraps, 3 5 1/2 white rw feathers
The first two shots had grizzly el grandes
The last had a wensel woodsman.
I'm not particular on which broadhead I shoot, as long as they fly good and are sharp!
I would also like to thank Nate for coming down for a weekend, sacrificing his turkey hunt to help me with my bear hunt. Also Harden, he's a brother and keeps me going. And finally my wife, she supported me through the whole hunt without complaining once. She is a great woman, and I definitley couldn't have done this without her. I am a very lucky man. Again I can't thank you guys enough for the support. You were on the mountain with me pushing me along when i was down,and cheering when the final shot was fulfilled. Thanks again, til this fall when the mulies are in velvet and the elk start bugling. Good luck to everyone hunting this year, may the Good Lord bless you as he did me. Til then
