My first Traditional harvest
« on: August 31, 2011, 11:27:00 PM »
I just got back from Ontario.  Seven of my buddies and I all went up to do some black bear hunting.  On Sunday, the 21st, at about 7:40pm (Canada time) I shot my first ever big game animal with my longbow.  My bear was a sow that weighed 185 lbs.
 
The bow was built by me and my buddy, John, and this was the first animal taken with it.  As awesome as all that is, the icing on the cake is that I got the whole thing on video.  Here's that video.  Let me know what you guys think.  TRW

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  We hunted with Doug Park who owns and operates Wolf River Bear Baits out of Dorion, Ontario.  The eight of us had plenty of bait sites that were getting hit regular.  Everyone in our group had opportunities at bears with four of us filling our tags (one of us killed a 340lb. monster with a "pumpkin" that Doug said would make the book).  It was an amazing trip made even more so by the great group of guys I went with.  Truly one that I'll remember for the rest of my life.  TRW
