Title: Big Bear down
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.                                                                                                                                               (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m285/delljohnson/DSCF0748.jpg)                                            (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m285/delljohnson/DSCF0739.jpg)                                            (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m285/delljohnson/DSCF0742.jpg)                                            (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m285/delljohnson/DSCF0730.jpg)

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.
