1/2 grizz success

[NorBC]

Bad weather tonight may as well post..

kitimat killer and I have been getting into lots of bears lately. Close call with a monster at 28 yards but my arrow hit a branch, the shaft spun around and slapped him in the ass, as he was running off I shot over his back.

( bottom left you see big boar and sow )

after that encounter we put stalks on two more different boars that night, but were busted from the wind at about 90 yards both times.

the next night we went back out. After a uneventful evening the big boar walked back out, you could only see his head but the skunk patch was unmistakable.

we put on the exact same stalk and this time we were at 23 yards. As I went to range him the wind swirled and the boar stood up on us. Before I could think of drawing back the big boy was running up the bank we were standing on, and I gave kitimat killer the go ahead to light him up.

thats 1 tag cut

turbs out it was a different boar, who was sh!t kicked by the bigger one earlier that morning, he was busted up pretty good.

he went 8' and his skull is gonna be some where around 24" ( didn't have caliber a with me )

if I arrow one or not we definitely had an unreal season, and got up close and personal almost too much for comfort. We've had everything from being charged by grizz and wolves, to listening to whales sing. We've also had 6 different times we could have shot different grizz under 100 yards.

few days left. We will see what happens.

[Norwestalta]

Nice bear. To bad about the bald patch but I guess it also adds to the uniqueness of it. You fellas are pretty brave to be that close. Lol. Damn near soiled myself when I was close enough to one that I could hear his jaws clicking but couldn't see him. Congrats.

[REMINGTON JIM]

Very KOOL - keep at it and maybe you will get a Arrow into one ! :-) Good Luck RJ

[Kitimat Killer]

It's been a great season and we're not done yet buddy tomorrow is the night we will get your.

We are blessed with some of the best hunting on the planet, no doubt...:grin:

[Kopper]

Good stuff guys

[srupp]

Hmm nice bear guys.the rub along the muscle crease on the forehead is not that unusual.especially on big old males.
There has been numerous confrontations between hunters and boars this past 3 weeks.and several busted up boars by bigger boars..exciting times in the mountains..intense.
Well done guys.
Cheers
Steven

[swampthing]

Great stuff guys. Keep at it! Great bear KK.

[Rattler]

Great job guys! Best of luck with the second one...

[ACB]

Great Bear ,Good Job. But no offence intended but that big boy looks like the guy running for President of the USofA caught in a wind storm. Pull that back forward and hit it with some gel.

[J_06]

Great bear! What was he shot with?

[nature girl]

Man oh man you sure got close to some bears.
Thanks for the pictures and story.

Wow congrats on a wicked G-bear...you guys got balllzzzz to try and arrow one that close..

[Xenomorph]

Awesome bear, awesome story. Holy!

[finaddict]

Man, I am not sure your title is accurate. I'd be hard pressed to call that a "1/2" success story........Looks like a pretty successful day and a great story to tell!

[RiverOtter]

Look at it as 1 out of 2, instead of half.

[NorBC]

I was meaning 1 out of 2 haha. Heading out now hoping to connect, two more nights ..

[Spy]

Good luck! Nice bear :-)

[BCbillies]

That's a solid bear. . . I was wondering how long Ricardo could hold off on unleashing the beast. You guys have been relentless in your pursuit this spring and all the best on a strong finish! :)

Awesome job man, still waiting to tag #2 blackie this year. Got a decent sized colour phase, so now I am looking for a bigger boar.

Absolutely stellar! That's going to be a lot of fun.

[Chopper]

i had to look at the date on the OP ... this one threw me for a loop. Congrats on this years draw , that bear from last year was a hammer. Get some pics up of a bigger one if you can.

Good luck !

[swampthing]

That bear was a real Hammer! Good to see again to get a guy excited for this years hunt!

[warnniklz]

Why is this the only grizzly post I like?

[NorBC]

Why is this the only grizzly post I like?

Poor taste?

[warnniklz]

Poor taste?


I think I'm just chapped I'm 15 years deep and still haven't got the grizzly draw I want. Now I see people with that draw asking for info because they've never been there. I'll be upset until I get out for spring black bears.

I think I'm excited about you trying to stab one with the old school sticks

[Deer_Slayer]

Nice job! I always wonder about hunting grizzlies, when you know there are many other grizz close by..like in your situation. Aren't you nervous about the other grizz coming out when you're trying to skin the one out you shot? Lol...just always think of that when I see grizz hunts in areas of high activity ie: salmon streams.

think about it this way, we absolutely work our bag off too harvest a grizz. Everything has to be perfect, and all the stars must line up. One wrong step on a branch, if the wind changes, if I clip a branch with an arrow and those bears are gone. Our presence is known as we talk and skin and take pictures. That being said the 375 will be close and we have two tags.

[Wild one]

Best of luck with sticking a grizz with an arrow. I have tried and failed my self if it was not for the fear of loosing the hunt I would be packing my bow for grizz this spring. This round will be with my muzzleloader

If you pull off a grizz with a bow I might be jealous and even hate you a little lol

Best of luck and truly hope you pull it off

[gmachine19]

With a bow?! great job bud! Here I am wondering if my 338WM will do the job and you down that beast with a bow!

[Rattler]

Whoa...long bow grizz...don't see that very often. Big congrats to you.

Thanks for sharing. Love to hear the story.

[HarryToolips]

Ya a griz with a long bow is beyond awesome, congrats!

[NorBC]

No it's misleading, there was a grizz I had dead to rights at 20 yards, but he was to small. It was hard not to do it. I ended up rifling mine on the last day of my hunt.. which was the hardest decision ever. will post the story eventually.

[HarryToolips]

Still cool though...I go after blackies with my traditional bow, but not griz my balls won't come out of my wife's purse for that...
