Awesome pictures guys!  

[BlkDog]

And...one for Dennis....  

After looking over this pic again, I happened to notice something was missing.  Here is your "before pic" of Lefty. It looks like you did get him after all.

those are some great looking bears guys.  Now I have to try talking my wife into hunting a bear with her bow, that would be a cool vacation for us!!!!

[Pierre Lucas]

Jay,

great picture of tripod as Dennis called him...that was a beautiful bear.  

God Bless,   Pierre

If you plan on going to Canada to hunt bear know that they and other critters can be very dangerous at times..

We encountered this creature on the side of the road.  Please use extreme caution when stopping to look at these critters...  

 

See ya at Denton bd.

God Bless,   Pierre

You'll never forget him when you do!!!!

[awbowman]

Oh, he'd never forget me either!  

[Yellow Dog]

Gatekeeper, another "three legged" bear. If you look close you can see a portion of the right front leg missing. Tom has talked about killing bears in the past missing paws or parts of a leg. Victims of snaring by the locals.

[see]

You can see in the 5th pic down in my last post is Dennis and his 3 footed bear.There is no paw on the right leg.His left shoulder side had grown much larger from having to use it so much more than the right side.Dennis hung in there after several no shows and got this big brute.Hey Dennis you need to tell your story.

Gentlemen, Great stories.I'll have to admit I'm home sick for bear quest.Havent been in a few years.And its good to see Tom is still providing a great hunt.Congrats to everyone and who  knows I might just have to consider going next year.    I got the hots for a tippit knife!

[BlkDog]

Tom,
Dwight and Mike were correct.  The bear Dennis shot only had a missing right paw.  After the Moose Path had been cold for a few days, it suddenly got hot again.  I hung a trail camera and we found three bears had hit it at 5 am the following morning.  The trail camera pic above was one of them.  When Dennis saw that pic, he said, "Oh! I want him!"  He hunted it the following morning from 4am-mid morning but they didn't show.  The second or 3rd evening, he arrowed a nice one.  I don't think Dennis knows it, but he actually got the one in the pic.  We never noticed that the bear in the pic was missing a paw.  I just caught it late last week when I was uploading pics.  239 lbs if I remember correctly!

Jay,
 Thanks for bringing to lite the fact that one of the bears in Picture on "Moose Path" was the one Dennis arrowed.
  Pretty Cool.  P&Y qualifier & would say for sure.

Now I see. The game cam picture made it look like there was a paw on the right side. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. How did you and Larry do on this hunt?

Larry & Jay both passed on Bears in the 180# and up class :-)
