huntjunkie Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Heres the culprit! This bear found my deer before I could get it out. I left to pack the first load out and when I returned I found him having dinner. So I did the smart thing and..... I stalked within 15 yards while he was eating. Hearing him snap the ribs as he would break them off sounded like a 22 shot. Then hearing him chew the bones.... oh man! I had a archery tag but guess what i packed out in the first load? Yep. My bow. Love the color. Looks like he has socks on the front paws. I hope we meet again in Sept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Thats sucks about your deer and leaving your bow behind. Would that of been considered shooting a bear over bait? Hope you get him this yr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trophyhnter Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Great pics! From that angle, the bear looks like a grizzly! Let the air out of him and make sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntjunkie Report post Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks, I didn't need another taxidermy bill at that time anyway. Depends on who you ask and what you consider bait(as we have seen several times on this forum) lol. Did i intend it to be bait? It was my deer, I planned on eating it. Im sure GF has a different opinion. Thats fine. I don't need " bait" I've got several pics of him. He's a frequent visitor on my cams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
