in 2011 we had 126
in 2012 we had 158
in 2013 we had 131
in 2014 we had 136
in 2015 we had 204

In 2017 we had 140
In 2018 we had 238

Bou, if I have a hunting group of 4 but i'm the only bowsiter does bears other than mine count toward the total? I assume no but wasn't for certain.
From: Bou'bound

This is not a normal bowsite elitist thread
We will count any dead bear from any human being with any weapon other than An airbow. ~99% of bowhunters have not ever been been to this site and the membership rules are pretty lax anyway

Great bear Cory, I was on Kodiak last fall. It's a magical place. What outfitter did you hunt with?
From: kota-man
18-Apr-22
I’ve had a few PM’s. Here are some stats/details: Bear squared an even 10 ft. For the size of bear, the skull was on the smaller side at 27”. I hunted with FreeLance Outdoors (Lance Kronberger) on Kodiak. I had an Aliulik Peninsula tag. I was scheduled to hunt two years ago, but this hunt was one of the only ones to get cancelled from Covid. I had a couple other spring hunts last year, so we rescheduled for this year. Brown Bear on Kodiak has been a “bucket list” hunt for me since my childhood reading about these giant bears in Outdoor life. The hunt was everything I hoped it would be. Lance and his crew are awesome.

I shot the last and smallest one. Mine was the only one that was under 19” green
I shot the last and smallest one. Mine was the only one that was under 19” green
Just got back from our annual spring bear camp out. Three days of crap weather, late spring half as many black bear as usual and twice as many grizzlies. The grizzlies are literally eating all the blacks. Saw no yearling cubs and only two new ones.
We managed to kill eight bears with most off us electing to shoot just one tag. Still lots of time to hunt local.

Learning how to pop the noggin out of the hide. He also got a curse put on him by a self proclaimed gypsy woman screaming at him for killing the bear! That was a first for us and kinda fun.

This was a long, lanky and belligerent sob. Squared 7’ 2". They chased him around for quite a while to get a shot. He wouldn’t run far and he wouldn’t tree.

We figure we saw over thirty grizzlies and no cubs. It's a great denning area and they concentrate on the valley bottom right away. But the shear number was ridiculous! We had one big boar circle about thirty yards under us as we were skinning and he moved off about fifty yards and waited for us to finish. I’m sure he was on the carcass as soon as we were out of sight.

Great pics ambush. Enjoy seeing quality pics of dead bear. I haven't hunted spring bear in Canada for years but sure enjoyed it. Only fall bear in MN. Took 2 people last fall. A 14 year old incredible young lady and a nother middle aged lady. The 14 year old shot a 514# and the lady shot a 536#. Both within a mile of each other. 10 and 11 years old. The girls skull Was20 3/16 .the ladies was 20 7 /16. I'm incredibly blessed as I have 2 adjacent landowners that own about 7 miles of riverbottom and allow me (and only me) to play in their sandbox. 7 bear over the past couple years over 20" with one going 21 9/16. All dried skulls.
From: Bearman

Didn't weigh this one but my guess is 650ish. 19 years old. Skull was shattered (bullet) so could not be scored.

Great Bears everyone! I had a incredible week in Manitoba at Stickflingers with Ryan, Parker and Chris. One of the hardest working group of guides I have been around. We went 10 for 13 my week with a couple misses and one not recovered unfortunately. I believe almost everyone saw a color phase as well. Great operation and I can’t wait to do it again one day.
From: BowJangles
09-Jun-22
Another Stickflingers success story!
First sit, second bear to come in. After watching him for an hour he gave me a perfect opportunity. He squared 7’2” and we green scored his skull (with calipers) at 20 13/16”.
Another 7 footer was taken the first night as well. Camp was on fire this week!
I can’t say enough good things about the Stickflingers crew. Ryan, Parker and David are all first class folks with a treasure trove of bear hunting knowledge between them. I’m heading back up in ‘24.

Mn opens September 1st and ends Oct 15. I have no desire myself to hunt till the last 2 weeks. I passed on a couple 500lbs+ bear last year (spot n stalk) because it was just so warm I didn't wanna deal with it.
Good luck fellas.

Mike with his first bear. Quality pictures are very important, at least in my opinion. Pictures in the general area where the animal fell almost always turns out better than back at camp or at the "photo spot." I'll be doing a video on taking quality trophy photos soon. Take the time in the field you'll appreciate it way more. A head lamp works wonders for those night time photos. Play with the angle of the light and see what works best.

Case in point. Not a night time pic, but a solo pic. A tripod helps tremendously. I had many compliments on this pic asking who took it for me. I wish I could have someone there, but when solo make sure you are prepared. Pictures help preserve the memory.

My first Bear from my New York property on opening day. Took 11 years to kill one on my land! They liked my corn plot and I had them figured out after lots of scouting Pretty thrilled to kill a bear on my own ground coming into my food plot.
