The year of the Bears!
I buy a bear tag every year for reasons like this.
I was tracking a bull that my buddy had shot when this old boy thought he would try and EAT me! I dont pack a side arm while bow hunting but maybe I should start! Anyway the bear started towards me so I moved to an opening so he could see what I was but he kept coming at twenty yards I drew back and at 17 yards he let out a woof and that was when i let the arrow go. It was almost perfectly strait on and my arrow past through, the bear turned and blew out of there. After a while i met up with my bro who had a gun and we went after him. a mile later I got another arrow in him and there he died. If there is one thing that impressed me,it is my broadhead. I shoot 125 grain slick trick and it tore him up. I later took a bull with the same broadhead and love what I saw. FYI. The bioligist said the bear was atleast 15 yrs old and was just over 6 feet tall.
