Archery Bear.

[killman]

Well I finally was successful in taking a big game animal with my bow. Was your typical bear hunt, drive until you spot. Short stalk and a 32 yrd quartering away shot. Remarkably the spitfire mechanical made a complete pass through and left the bear dead a short 80 yrds away. After a drag through the devils club and a few pics we were on our way.
Thanks to Ambush for all his help getting me started and all the pointers. Also for the had to drag out the beast.

Congrats again Killman. One shot kill on a nice bear is a great way to start your archery carreer and your hunting season. Thanks for letting me be part of it.

And your grandaughter :mrgreen: was a real trooper, slugging through the deadfall and devils club.

Nice work man! Getting some sausage and pepperoni made up? Didn't play with my bow much over the past few months, so I'm not comfortable with sticking something with it right now. I knew I could rely on you and Ambush to live vicariously through however...

[fester]

[s0ylentgreen]

may i ask where you got it?

[91Jason91]

[SKYLINE]

Very nice! Congrats on the first of many archery kills. You gotta love those short track jobs. Just think of how much shorter it would have been if you were using a Rage. :mrgreen:

[hunterdon]

[killman]
