Always interesting what might be lurking in the woods behind ones house. Watch your back. Wow, great bear and congrats to the bow hunter. my best, Paul
I kinda have to agree with 7-08.... that’s one HUGE freaking bear, and that photo makes it look like just another long-arm photo of a run-of-the-mill specimen.
They got another over 800 lbs in rifle season this year not far from where this bear shot. Just over the border in Monroe Co in Smithfield Township. That makes 7 bears over 800 lbs taken in Pa. over the years.
Met his brother once while hunting/visiting my ex's gma. Showed me much better pics than the one shown. It was unbelievably huge.
I'll never forget that trip. It was the first/only time I've seen someone use a chainsaw to cut pond ice while setting traps. It may be normal to you all up north but I'm from NC. I thought the dude was crazy
Not 100% of our bears sleep straight through the whole 5 months, most do. Some are seen on nice winter days walking around. I've seen one on a not-nice February day. But our bears hibernate.
yep, they are not true hibernators...........................some will go in and out of their dens all winter.
And just to clarify.....................................................it was shot with a crossbow(multiple times) the first year they became legal in the Pa Archery season.
Shot with a crossbow...........sooo that means it doesnt qualify as a bow kill, right? Just as an "arrow kill" ? Was it a gun kill? No Was it a sling shot kill? No Was it a spear kill? No
Was it an arrow kill? yes So, it was a bow kill? No So what kind of device launched the arrow? .........A CROSS______&%$%$%%#. So it was bow kill then????
