Ontario bear hunt
huntertrapper:
Very Nice sir! thats awesome, beautiful bow and a nice boar bear too...great medicine
paulc:
Hey Mattco, can you tell us a bit about where you hit the bear? And did you check out the internals to see what kind of damage your arrow did? 3hrs of tracking sounds like a drag! How far did the bear get before it fell? I gut shot a doe last fall with my rifle and spent 2.5hrs failling to find her...I like it when animals drop real quick:-) TIA, paul
Mattco:
The arrow struck the bear just behind the right front leg as it was quartering away. The arrow was stopped when it hit the left front leg. The arrow penetrated the liver and lung. Massive internal bleeding. The bear traveled less than 100 yards - the thick fur stopped the blood from exiting. It had gotten dark so most of the trail was found with flashlights.
paulc:
tracking a possibly wounder bear with flashlights! Did you have a firearm for backup?? I would have been very tempted to return with the daylight. Great shooting, great penetration too. If you can take an 350# bear with a 47# bow surely I can take a hog with my bow at 52#...now if I can only find a hog.
Ryano:
Nice Bear Matt. Ya, I remember that bow. Nice shot!
