Spring Bear hunt Sucess

Post by JUDGE »

Well it was my first spring bear hunt, didn't last long , a bear came out to my Tim Horton doughnuts at 5 min to 9 pm just as I was packing up to leave .
I noticed the 3 raccoons at my bait all stood up looked east then ran off, thought something might be coming so I waited 5 more min and he walked right in and gave me a broadside shot.
No trophy but I was not trophy hunting about 200 lbs and on the lean side .
Matrix 380 with Boltcutter did the trick , He only went 30 yards.

Not much of a story but that's the way it went, LOL

Outstanding! The trophy is the memory of the hunt, and the success you had using your skills, and crossbow, CONGRATS! :wink:

Congrats, Judge! Must have been some kinda buzz seeing a bear on stand and getting him to present you with the chance of a clean kill! Way to close the deal on your first bear!

Congrats on your spring bear success!
Every animal taken is a trophy as far as I'm concerned!! :)

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
