Cool video of how it shows the speed of a Bear real well, way more nimble than most can imagine...


He put it right under the chin, bullet went right threw the center of the body.

Good luck this weekend.

After the big push, if you get time, would be nice to post pictures of trail cam photos of bear that got shot to verify guessing weight from photos.

Oops, thought it was archery.

Will post comments, pics etc when all hunters are done. Will say this, the first two days with this hot weather, the bears mostly went nocturnal and eventually figured out they are being hunted, shot 14 bears so far, 230lbs is the biggest. Talked to another Outfitter up there and by Friday they were only 1 for 11 hunters another bear guide service was 5 for 20. Lots of misses and unfortunately wounded bears. Will fill in details and stories soon.

Big bears are starting to show up again "This is Traveler" (Pic) the one eyed monster. We have another bigger bear "Bed Maker" that we pulled the stand and trail camera today only to later check the SD card to find out he's been coming in during daylight hours. We called the land owner to see if he would give us one more week to hunt him, he said kill the &%$#&@....we are hoping tomorrow it will be raining so we can sneak back in and set the stand back up. The hunter is coming in on Monday to hunt Bed Maker... :dance: If we can keep his interest at the bait station the hunter has a good chance at killing that bear.
