Nothing Good Happens After 1am, Except Grizzly Bears..PHOTOS..
« on: June 15, 2014, 08:02:00 PM »
Things finally came together last night (this morning) after 11 nights of hunting, I finally got a shot at a good grizzly here where we can hunt them over bait. After 2 seasons, I've learned that contrary to some opinions, getting a mature grizzly or brown bear over bait often proves to be every bit as difficult as spot and stalk hunting. Anyway, this bear came in chasing a black bear at 2:20 am and stopped broadside at 13 yards. I was using a Bear's Paw Avian recurve at about 66# at my draw length (30 1/4"), shooting Easton 250 FMJ's, with 155 Grizzly single bevel broadheads...arrow weight was 750 grains and the slightly quartering to shot passed through like butter, taking both lungs.

I am running vanes, they're cheaper, quieter, and mostly because the weather conditions up here can be awfully detrimental to feathers.
