Here is a 200lb black bear that was taken on October 19th in Orange County. The hunter had to use his old bow as his bowstring broke on his primary bow. As he was scouting a swamp he saw the bear and took a 20 yards shot. It was during the evening so he did the smart thing and backed out.The next day he returned and got on the trail to find the bear not more than 50 yards away. What an awesome story and a great bear!
How many of you have had success hunting black bear in NY with archery equipment? It's not an easy task, that's for sure.
That is sweet.
ReplyDeleteOne of my dreams is to arrow a bear with a bow.
Lucky guy!
I'd like to take one with a bow myself, it is by no means an easy task.
