spring bear
« on: June 01, 2011, 01:47:27 am »
Hi all,
I've been away from here for a while.......lurking a bit, but been too busy to post for a while.
Anyway, I thought you all might like to see a pic of the black bear I arrowed on the weekend. Stalked him to within 25 yards and hit him through the lungs(a bit far back but still double lungs) with an ash arrow tipped with a Magnus II. The arrow was hanging out the offside by the fletching as he ran away. Made it about 60 yards. The hide squared 6 foot 6" and there is a bunch of nice meat for sausage too. ;D
The bow was a 64# osage that I posted on here a while back, I dubbed it " Ashbuster" due to it's uncanny ability to break my arrows.

That is one pretty bear!! What a cool hunting story too, and that you harvested it with a bow you made. Doesn't get any better than that!

Great trophy!  Takes some momentum to pass an arrow that far thru a bear, especially in the spring with all the hair!  Am taking my family to Muncho Lake, BC in two weeks for a fly in fishing trip.  Sure do like your place to hunt and fish!  A/Ho Joe

Now that is too cool!  Congrats Darcy, 6' 6" is a nice BB by anyone's standards and with a Osage selfbow even more so...

Thanks for sharing~

Thanks for the kind words guys. This is the biggest blackie I have killed with a bow yet, but I am blessed with some smokin' good bear hunting up here. I saw 9 bears the day I got this guy and stalked 4 of them. One was a beautiful light brown color......almost like butterscotch and probably 6 foot plus...........he got away, but I know where to look for him next year. ;D I also was within 15 yards of a little one but he needed time to grow up........I snuck away without him ever knowing I was there........fun stuff.
