NitroAZ Report post Posted June 3, 2012 Well with record high temps on Friday my honey hole paid off again. In a 24 hour period I had 5 bears come in. The first afternoon yielded a large sow and cub. On the second Day I was about to climb into my tree stand when I heard a noise, I looked up the hill and saw this bear coming in, I detached my safety harness, untied my bow and waited for her to come into the water. As she walked in I snuck over to within 15 yards, after spending 1 minute or so in the water she began to turn around so I drew, when she stopped she was facing me but a few seconds later she turned enough to give me a quartering shot. The arrow entered the shoulder and exited the opposite rear quarter, she ran about 70 yards and piled up. I can't get over how fast the Omen Pro is at 70 #'s, it helped that Wac'em leave a serious path of destruction. While I was taking photos and skinning her I had two other bears walk in on me.

NitroAZ Report post Posted June 4, 2012 Yes, I was hunting one of the sothern units, I've drawn this tag the last few years and have shot several neat colored phased bears. Since I shot this bear yesterday my Smart Scouter has been sending me pics every few hours. One of thebears looks to be a big blonde, I'm sending one of my friends down there Tues to try to get a crack at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
