Thanks for all the comments ... I was hunting with trophy hunters guide services. Lloyd Gates. He’s a good man and knows his areas well. Hunted there last year as well. He’s about 2 hours across Maine side of boarder.
Dale dye medicine point... the “His Bow” as he called it, 49 pds at 28”... Dale has on it 52pds at 29”
Full metal jackets, 500 spine with brass insert tipped with a grizstick 175 single bevel Samurai Broadhead. 10.2 grains per pound and a extremely fast set up. Dales personal made string/Silencer set up as well.
The bear was quartering away at about 10 yards the shot clipped the first lung went through the shoulder and came out the bottom of the bear in the front by the heart ... Broadhead I guess was out other side maybe 3”? He ran about 200/250 yards. My just turned 12 year old son was about 20 yards from me in another tree stand and witnessed it all. He was a little shook up but loved every bit of it.
This bear Green scored 21 inches plus and was just at 400 pounds. He was fighting another boar that never came out of the bush that had bitten him several times and his front teeth were five eights of an inch wider on the bite then the one I shot. I have never witnessed anything like that in my life, it literally sounded like A silent quad runner running through the woods hitting trees and breaking them. Except for a bunch of growling and hissing. The bigger board never came out.
The key to this hunt was I had a sow that was in heat on the bait. If it would not have been for her none of this would’ve happened, my hats off to her, whatever she’s not tonight, LOL.
So I came back to Indiana and arrived yesterday with the bear hide and about 200 pounds of meat.
Once again thanks for the kindness in the comments, I just like to share my hunt, and it seems nowadays that traditional hunters still have a great passion for hunting, expressing and sharing their experience from their success. God bless everybody.
