I have been applying for thirteen years to draw a tag for this area. A good friend told me he had a 400 acre piece of private land I could hunt I jumped at the chance.
They allow 1 person a year to hunt it most hunt with a gun out of the blind. I chose the stand location above the blind where David and I set the ladder stand.
We had a bunch of pictures of this bear on trail cameras over the last few weeks. These were taken moments before I took the shot
I was hunting with My 58" Classic longbow. 45@28 CX hertitage 90 Arrows And Ace Standard 160 Broadheads. The bear went 60 yards weighed 190 lbs. I hunted only 1 hour and 45 minutes on the first day in the stand when he came in and watched him for 15 minutes.
