Thanks everyone.........I am still on a "Rocky Mountain High"
One of my hunting buddies killed a 3x3 yesterday. It was his first with a bow also. We will be heading home tomorrow morning. I will get some pics posted and a little more of the story this coming week.

Congrats.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Way to go Kevin!
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Waaay to go Kevin!!! No feeling like that first bull!!!  :thumbsup:    :clapper:
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.
