Not sure I have ever heard of such hunting success. . . what an outfit.  Congrats to all of you.

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

Thank you for the stories and pictures. Congratulations to all on your bears and memories earned.  It's one of my favorite animals to hunt (and our MI bears are wonderful table fare).    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

I was fortunate enough to be with "Big sexy" in camp.  "Twowolves" and I have hunted a lot of bears over the last 7 years, and we both shot are biggest so far.  If I can figure out how to post pics, I will.  Congrats again Dave and Brian on your fine trophies and good shootin.......

To say Muskwa is a hardcore bowhunter is an understatement.  Bears are just part of it.  There were great stories to be shared in camp.  Congrats Joe!

Folks, here are some pics of Muskwa (Joe) and his fine bear.  BTW - Joe made the bow that he shot the bear with.. how cool is that!

Congrats Brian, Dave and Joe on a successful hunt in Manitoba, Great Bears. I'm glad to see some people are having luck, I've got two more sits planned until the spring season is over. It's been slow.
