LifeNRA Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I got in real early today, was sitting in my tree an hour before sunrise. About 6:50AM I see movement. At first I thought it was a coyote, as it got closer I thought if it is, I going to shoot. Turns out it was a Black Bear! It is un-believable how quite they can walk. He got about 30-35 yards from me. This is the first time ever I seen a black bear while hunting! Then about 9:15AM I thought the tree rats were playing with me again. NOPE! It was that same big eight pointer that busted me last week when I got in late! He was about 25 yards from me in the back! I was already standing, I got the bow off the hook, he started quartering away from me. At about 35 yards he stopped and kept looking back. I was watching behind him but never saw anything! I turned my attention back to him, and gently pulled the release. The arrow hit a limb I didn't see at first, and veered off to the left of him. He jumped and ran about 10 feet. Stuck his head back down and resumed eating the acorns. These acorns were falling like crazy today, and they were loud as they fell to the ground! I watched him slowly walk out of sight! I know I had a good hold and a good anchor! My heart sank as he disappeared! All in all, it was a good day! I got the arrow off the tree, but the muzzy imbedded itself to the point it broke off! If this would have been the rifle season I would have been dragging him out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
