Post by: oldway on June 13, 2009, 06:02:00 PM

Hi tradgangers,I just thought I would share a few pics of the bear I shot last nite.He's the largest bear I've shot to date.He should score over 20" and weighed close to 400 lbs. buy all estimates.It's been a very cold spring here in saskatchewan and huntings been slow.But last night this bruiser came in at about 9pm.and gave me a good shot.He only went 70 yards before expireing.I used one of my homemade bows,trad only shafts and ziwicky heads.I hope you all enjoy the pics.

Great bear, getting one over 20" is awesome and not very common, he's was a very mature boar with a PHD in surviving close encounters with other hunters so a real accomplishment.

Nice shot. Congrats

Nicely done sir! Boy that is a big old brute isn't he. You don't get to see them very often, and to get a good chance at a shot at one even less. Way to go for keeping it together! .......Man that's a big bear good job.
