Outstanding.  Oklahoma did well in the SE on bears this year.  Had 20 spots and filled 31 tags opening day!  Oops...

Ok guys her goes bare with me i'm not that good of a writer.
First off i must tell you we were hunting bears with dogs at my hunt club and i'm the only person shooting a bow. If you have never hunted bears with dogs you don't know what your missing. The morning started out kind of slow with us treeing 1 small bear 125lbs approx. we worked hard to get a guy hunting with us in to position to shot the bear but he decided to let this one go even though he has never killed one, and I must add the fellow is in a wheel chair so that made it more challenging for us. While the guys were catching the dogs I scouted a track to hunt. We decided on turning out on a bear i've been tracking an scouting the last 2 years. It didnt take long before we had the bear on his feet. The bear crossed into a meadow headed for a big pond, I was on the other end watching as the bear an dogs are headed my way the dogs were surounding the bear like indians surounding a stagecoach with the bear swating and slapping every dog he could reach. I will never forget the sight of that bear an dogs in the meadow. its hard to describe. The bear at that time ducked in a hedgerow an funneled directly to me like i had a string on him. I shot the bear the 1st time at 7 ft coming directly at me. I had a friend with me with a gun an he baled on me. He tells everybody that I have the biggest B_LLS of anybody he knows to stand face to face with that bear. Maybe i'm a little crazy i dont know I tell them If your gonna hunt bears you got to leave your skirt at the door, but anyway I hit the bear in the front shoulder and he crossed a dam where he had to go across a big cutover where I got in front of him again an this time the bear charged me and i shot him a 2nd time right behind the shoulder at about 10 feet. The bear went 40 yards with me in persuit behind him an he got up one me time at which I put a 3rd arrow in his side and the great bear still went 50 more yards before expiring. This was a hunt I will never forget I only wish my son would have been there with me. I hope this was not to painfull for anybody to read.

Great job!!!!  I loved running hounds for bears.  I did it for a few years but got out of it due to money and time.  I will do it again someday.  What did the bear weigh and what kind of hounds do you run.  I would love to see pictures of them.

BIG!, I also think they are STEEL!

Congrats.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow's effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs
