I have been applying for thirteen years to draw a tag for this area. A good friend told me he had a 400 acre piece of private land I could hunt I jumped at the chance.

They allow 1 person a year to hunt it most hunt with a gun out of the blind. I chose the stand location above the blind where David and I set the ladder stand.


We had a bunch of pictures of this bear on trail cameras over the last few weeks. These were taken moments before I took the shot

I was hunting with My 58" Classic longbow. 45@28 CX hertitage 90 Arrows And Ace Standard 160 Broadheads. The bear went 60 yards  weighed 190 lbs. I hunted only 1 hour and 45 minutes on the first day in the stand when he came in and watched him for 15 minutes.

Nice looking bear. Congratulations.....and good arrow penetration.

Tracy's make the best lady bear hunters!! Congratulations from me and my Tracy.I'll be looking forward to a recap of the hunt the next time we talk!
