I just got back last night from Northern Saskatchewan.A lot of rain and wind the first three days.In spite of the poor conditions,we saw bears all three days.

There were 6 hunters in camp,4 bow shooters,all traditional.There should have been 6 bears taken.As it was,2 were taken,both with traditional gear.

I took this cinnamon colored boar on the 4th day.It had it's front feet up on a barrel and was quartering away.The arrow hit where I wanted it to and passed through much lower,barely sticking in the ground about 10' beyond.

The broadhead was a KME sharpened,200 gr Grizzly.The bow was a 50# Kodiak replica.The bear ran 75 yds and the death moans were loud and immediate.

My Wyoming bear taken on 5-20-12 about 20 miles from the house. My story is on Pow Wow if you missed it. It's called Big Wyo bear....luck was shining down on me.

Congrats to everyone on some awesome animals and especially to LITTLEBIGMAN for enduring some tough hunting conditions in Manitoba to take his bear. I imagine it would have taken a lot of determination and heart to stick it out in those freezing conditions. Good on ya, you deserve it.

LIttlebigman, he sure is a super bear. Were any  guesses made as to how much he might have weighed before he went to ground for the winter?

Jim:  Great story and even greater Bear. I figured you Minnesota guys could hunt in short pants in weather like that. Way to hang in there.  RW

izzy. A bear supposedly will put on 40% of his fall weight after coming out of hibernation so if that is accurate he should weigh in at 553 lbs!

Short pants right!!
