Big Bear down
« on: June 13, 2009, 06:02:00 PM »
Hi tradgangers,I just thought I would share a few pics of the bear I shot last nite.He's the largest bear I've shot to date.He should score over 20" and weighed close to 400 lbs. buy all estimates.It's been a very cold spring here in saskatchewan and huntings been slow.But last night this bruiser came in at about 9pm.and gave me a good shot.He only went 70 yards before expireing.I used one of my homemade bows,trad only shafts and ziwicky heads.I hope you all enjoy the pics.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Now that is a BEAR!  Congrats!! Nice looking hide, too.  Watching him come in would get the pulse up for sure.
