Same here, shot my share of bears but never heard one like that. Congrats on a good bear

Already had some burgers, they were delicious.

Whoa never heard anything like that. Is that for real? Sorry I have to ask!! I've whacked a lot of bears but never heard a moan or even a huff, let alone something like THAT.

Good job on the filming and editing. I dabble around a little with video and know it's far from easy. I thought that was well put together. Thanks for posting it up.

Thanks guys....Caddisguy, about 40%of the bears I’ve shot have death moaned. The one. I killed on Friday did a loud one as well, but my audio failed. Maybe it’s because I shoot them with a broadhead and not a bullet? I don’t know why they do it certain times and not others.

Without that moan I'd guess my finding the bear would have been much longer, one of them I doubt that we'd have found him at all. I'd say about 1/3rd of the bears that don't bang flop have moaned!

Congrats on the bear. Now just to get my wife out.
thanks for sharing

And that was a crazy death moan, never heard one quite like that

That could be. I haven't went after them with a bow yet and most of them drop instantly. I did have a double-lung-and-spine once (magic bullet?) where the bear tried to run but couldn't move... went on a few seconds. Another I accidentally shot in the liver that had time to moan. Never a vocalization.

What an odd sound. Come to think of it, I did hear a sound like that way up top of a huge cut block one spring. It would moan for a few seconds every 30-60 seconds or so. It went on the whole time we were there (maybe 10-15 mins) ... thought maybe it was a dying moose but now I wonder if it was a bear.

I also make that sound when I get up and have to go to work... or the next day after I eat a couple pounds of extra hot wings.

^^^I think we all moan when we have to get to work. I've also had 2 elk that I've killed do a death moan, both with archery gear.
