Indiana Buck with a Bear

Well, I finally got a racked buck with my trad bow. Taken a handful of does, but this is my first racked buck! I came close to a stud this past Saturday. Came to about 15 yards, but was straight on. Could’ve shot him in the neck, but didn’t and he flipped ends and out of my life. Fast forward to Thursday evening. I got out and setup between bedding and a hot bean field that’s still green! I wasn’t up 10 minutes and two young does came by. I actually missed the lead doe at about 18 yards. Per my usual first shot I went right over her back LOL forgot to bend at the waste! I had 3-4 more does come by about 35-40 minutes later, but never got a clean, good shot. At 720 I see lone movement coming down the hill towards me. I see the rack then focus on the spot I want. Quartering shot the 45# Bear Kodiak ‘59 and Simmons Tigershark took it all and left a heck of a blood trail once Kade and I found it. He was so excited to go and did great in the dark! Been a great fall with my ‘59. Taken some squirrels and now this buck. By the way, this 10ring string I put on it is so quiet! The deer had no idea except for the sound of the arrow hitting. Sorry the pics aren’t the best. It was after 10 and pitch black when Kade and I got him drug out. The ole phone and old truck lights only do so much.

Attaboy! Is that a new 59 or a vintage 59? I have one I’m playing with also!
