buckee Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Looks like a fairly good sized bear, from this angle, but hard to tell for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksheephuntress Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) ....thanks, guys.... -Anthony- I really like this sight- the Tru Glo- the LED pins are so bright, I don't even need to use the battery light attatched(artificial light is illegal to use in AK...and, lots of other states, though-) -yes, I have seven pins...-lol- but, only accurately set to 40- I'll set the 50, 60, and 70 pin before Wyoming, though..... -I only have this bow poundaged (is that a word?-lol)- to 43 lbs... (it's maxed out, actually a youth bow- ) -I love this bow- -I have a Martin Jaguar set at 55 lbs....the AK min. for mtn goat, brown bear, moose,bison etc- is 50 pds- -min draw weight up here for black bear, sheep, caribou, deer, wolf, wolverine, is 40 - -Miranda....-yes...-I would have taken this bear...-we are not too concerned about the size- primarily want to just fill the freezer... -and his coat was absolutely BEAUTIFUL..-all the bears that came in and were watched/filmed were...we were pretty fortunate to have ended up with a great area, and had between 5-9 bear coming in every evening- a lot of work, though....-prior to hunting over the bait, and during/ also, seperate runs in with bait, mornings, etc- -what we used as bait seemed to attract just black bear, no brownies.....(unfortunately, the brown bear have gotten in there , now- one more day left(as far as baiting)- we'll see what happens- -We got the bait station going this year for Jim- he was up here for 2 weeks-Terry lined him out on the station, and he ended up hunting pretty much solo most evenings.... I'm sure he will be posting pics here soon.... -he ended up getting a lot better quality video than I did-(that is, after he kept coming back on the 4-wheeler each night, telling us these stories of all the great bears coming in-I said,"Jim, use that fancy new camera you have and take some VIDEO"- I listened to all the excuses...-"I'm in the treestand"-and..."well, where am I going to put my bow", and -oh- I loved this one..."you see, my release is different from yours...I can't hold the camera"-) ok.......- so, hence the clips I decided to take here(more to come)- I had been running bait out mornings, and Jim was hunting the evenings- Terry and I had been WAITING (ok, Jim...just PICK one...lol-:yawn:)to hunt until Jim harvested....he ended up getting some AWESOME pics and video...and, a respectable bear.....I'll let him fill ya'll in...... -the evening of this clip, I got to go out in the evening- Jim took a break- -I'm just going to keep posting video clips until he gets around to posting... oh- and he and Terry went out on a halibut charter...-they had good weather...-didn't get into the big ones, but at least he was able to take home a 50- lb box of fish and meat with him- the smaller ones are tastier, anyway- -Jim took my IBEP class when he got up here (required to hunt bear over bait in this game area of AK)- and he was really helpful with some of the other guys in the class with his bow equipment knowledge- he helped this one kid out that had something wrong with his bow; we were all racking our brains trying to figure out what it was, and Jim figured it out- -hey, Buckee....-yes, you are right- the bears are quite hard to judge- this one looks not too bad in size...especially lying down-but, in some later clips I'll post, you can see when they stand up, how long their legs are- -beautiful coats, for sure! -and they all taste great! -there were a lot of small ones coming in- -just awesome to sit up there and listen to everything...-the eagles, float planes, wood peckers, squirrels.....all the unique songbirds...... -here's a couple funny ones...-I am a messy girl. -always think before handling molasses...-funny story with it; -a bear had taken off with my molasses when I was off over the ridge scouting a bit for an hour-(didn't think anything would bother the jug, and in only an hour...-WRONG...:nono:boy, I was mad-well, I went searching, and found it- had bite marks in it, but it was mostly all there... wow, now I know the true meaning of the old phrase-"as slow as molasses"- it took FOREVER for that jug to empty out, back at the bait tree(we don't use barrels...-more on that, later-) -and, I could hear the bears milling around, pacing through the alder, waiting for me to leave - -black bear are like big dogs....-if one would come in too close to you, you could kick it, if you had to(and, no, I don't believe in kicking dogs...) -but....-brown bear....that's a whole other story....I keep the Colt Anaconda on my hip just in case- ...never thought I was that talented...-anyone ever been able to get molasses to pour UP?? ...Oh....-about the arrow on the ground...-not mine- -I'll let Jim fill you in on that one....lol- Edited June 30, 2009 by aksheephuntress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
