Story please

From: Slate

16-May-21

Thanks Craig, I didn’t think many would want to hear it here because it was shot with a rifle but I will give you a short version Grant.

From: MA-PAdeerslayer

16-May-21

Story please! Who cares if it was rifle. We’re all hunters and it’s our choice to decided if we want to kill with a bow shotgun rifle or muzzleloader!

From: Slate

2021 Kodiak Alaska bear hunt finally happened. I had this trip planned for some time. I left April 18th and started hunting on the 21st. I saw approx 30 bears. On average 4 a day. One day I didn’t see any. The days are spent sitting on the beaches glassing for 12 hours no joke. Waiting for the right bear and right situation. I was blessed with absolutely great weather. On day 7 I spotted a bear on a deer carcass so we decided to head on into the jungle and put a stalk on. 2 hours later we ended up 70 yards from the bear and his deer carcass. We waited 4 hours for him to give us an opportunity. We decided that we needed to make a move and go in after him. I ended up shooting this beautiful bear at 10 yards on a charge. I shot him 3 times chest and both shoulders and he died only feet from me. The most amazing hunt I have ever been on. An absolutely amazing animal. There is nothing in the world I have experienced like hunting Kodiak Island Brown bears. It was an amazing trip all around.

From: tkjwonta

16-May-21

Wow Slate, that's incredible! Just experiencing the country and getting to observe all those bears would be amazing, but getting it done on a great charging bear is over the top.

Do you think there's anything that could come close to helping prepare for that "moment of truth" of the charge? I'd like to think I could pull it off, but I could also very easily end up as a cowering pile of bear food.

From: Slate

16-May-21

I’m not sure Tyler. I never expected it to happen that way but, there was no time to think about it. It felt like an out of body experience when it happened. It was a crazy adrenaline high which I’m still riding weeks later. I also had my guide right next to me as back up to shoot also if needed

From: MA-PAdeerslayer

16-May-21

Slate that’s quite the adrenaline rush! Holy crap!

From: TEmbry

On the board with my earliest brown bear to date. Now I’m confused what to do with my weekends for the next month!

From: TEmbry

16-May-21

A picture typically helps after a post like that lol

From: JL

16-May-21

Wow!! Heck of a story there....congrats. What kind of rifle were you using to get off 5 (or 3??) shots on a charge? Kinda surprised the guide let the bear get that close without him firing a defensive shot.

From: tkjwonta

Dandy bear Trevor, way to get it done!

Congratulations Slate, that's a helluva a bear. Hunting brown bear on Kodiak is my dream hunt. Hopefully will happen in the next few years. I also have a 300 Ultra mag. What were you using for ammo?

Great work guys. I’ve been “pushed” two years in a row on two Canada Bear hunts and once in Ak. I can’t wait to get back in the bear woods. Currently scheduled for Kodiak Spring of ‘22.

From: MQQSE

I took this one in the last few hours of an 8 day hunt and my son took his first two days earlier.

From: Plum lake

21-May-21

With no hunters in camp again this year I took the opportunity to go sit for an evening and hunt for myself. Didn’t have any bear in particular that I was after. More less just wanted to sit and take some pictures. 2nd hour into the sit this bear walked right in like he owned the place. I was sitting in a natural ground blind, grabbed my bow, watched him feed for 5+ minutes at 10 yards. (Got a few cell phone pics). I waited till he was at 14 yards and broadside. Took the shot and watched him fall over. 25 yard recovery. This is the first and only bear we are Hunting this year. Last year we also only killed 1 bear. Next spring is going to be an unreal hunt.

Some fabulous bears taken...Kyle, MQQSE, Nick and many more!!! Way to go!

I did get a dandy spot and stalk 2 days ago. Half done with the meat cutting right now. Hunted him 12 days....had beer can sized scat, biggest I'd seen on a black bear. Finally arrowed him at 3:00 PM after a stretch of 33 straight hours of rain and being holed up. The bear and I both were ready for some action.

Pack out

I am 19 years old and I started hunting last fall. I went to Lethbridge Alberta in March to meet up with Dean Degner to shoot the bow at the there local range, and to trap some beavers to use as bear bait. We have a beautiful cabin up at East Trout in Northern Saskatchewan. Me, my grandpa, and my dad started baiting April 15th in a spot we have never baited at before. After a slow start with about a month of no bears on the trail camera, I was starting to get anxious. We were starting to see some bears on the cam May 26th. On May 30th 2021 I was given the opportunity to harvest a nice brown bear at the site. A memory I’ll never forget...

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This was without a doubt, the most thrilling, heart pounding, emotional roller coaster of a hunt I've ever done. It all started with a 5 yard "less than ideal" shot on this big boar that almost walked in my lap. I wish I could say that it went as perfect as t-roy..... but I was happy to get the bear in the end after a 2 1/2 mile chase.

Qian is completing her PhD here in Winnipeg. She took up fishing last year, and found some success. Her friends, non-hunters, thought she should try hunting. She contacted me and we arranged a 1-day hunt. She would use my crossbow, and try and get herself a bear. We couldn't be picky, but sows and extremely small boars would be off-limits. It took a little while for her to get comfortable with the crossbow, but they are very easy to use and she was drilling bulls-eyes very shortly after shooting. She had studied shot placement on YouTube before the hunt and was confident. Well, she made a good shot, and the bear ran only 30 yards before death moaning. Her reaction is pretty cool on video!

Unfortunately due to a shoulder injury I had to take a rifle out. Winchester 92 in 357 mag. 158 grain JSP pushed by a max load of Lil Gun powder. I shot him at the base of the neck while he was standing on his hind legs raking a tree with his claws. Although not a big bear (official was 256#) he was incredibly aggressive. He couldnt figure out where I was so he would blindly charge an area and grunt then claw the trees. He chased out the other 2 bear I was watching which sealed his fate. He was DRT btw. I couldnt believe how much damage that round did to him, it looked like I hit him with a 308.

My 12 year old nephew wanted to try hunting. I told him if he took his hunter safety and practiced with the crossbow I'd take him. Actually the crossbow is very easy to use. I'm sure if it was legal my 6 year old could use it. Well the nephew made a great shot. The 6'4 boar didn't make it past 30 yards. He used a 3 blade VPA.

I had a client the other day and he shot a very nice bear, probably 6'9 squared and it looked like a perfect hit. We could not find the bear. He was using a Sevr 1.5. I have not been happy with their customer service and now their performance. I have since sold my 9 Sevr broadheads.

Anyways a big congratulations to Elijah on his first big game animal!

First time I ever hunted behind dogs. It was no cakewalk the bear treated after two hours closest we could get was 1.2 miles through a knee-deep mucky swamp. He treed about 25 feet up on an island. Took just short of four hours to drag him out.It was really cool to watch the dogs work. Wish I got a better picture of the white patch it’s in the shape of a butterfly it looks awesome now I have to do a half mount of some sort to show it off.
