hyperflow Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 We and the wife went out bear hunting last night, We didn;t see anything and on are way back to the truck we saw a bear, She took the shot and the angle i was looking i thought she had missed, So i ran in the field because he was on a lil island and the only way out is trew the field. Then like a dummy i ran onto the island. Then i heard a crowl which i thought was the death growl. When i got closer aprrox 20 yards away he started growling agen and trashing braches/ground with his paws. He was not a happy camper. Im not sure what i was thinking at the time, i wanted him to charge/come closer so i could take another shot into him. I was standing infront of him in the dark for about 2-3min then backed out. We then went to a friends to get a gun and go back after him, I then called my dad to tell him we might be late to pick up my son, Then he told me it wasn;t the brightest idea in the world to go back after a bear in the dark if he was wounded. Often you hear stories of bears geting 4-5 shots into them and there still comming. So we waited tell morning. I figured are safty was more importent then geting this bear. We went back at first light this morning, the bear was waisted because of the high heat of last night, and are camra batts we;re dead for some reason so we didn;t even get pictures. In the end she made a beautiful shot, the bear was double lunged, 2min before the end of legal shooting time and if i woulda just gave the bear 15min he would of died. I never had my heart beat so fast when he was trashing and growling 20 yards away and i couldn;t see him. Man what a nerv racking feeling.

buckee Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've never seen an animal spoil over-night. Bears stink when they are fresh, never mind bloated from sitting over-night. He's fine. go back and get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Lot of posts on deer meat and spoil time, but don't recall anything on bear. Too bad about the meat loss. Were you able to save the hide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
