Ah Jeez alfo, “tonight” for most people is anytime after dinner.

Good Luck Bear 13, good advise, be careful.

Maybe he wasn’t hunting. Maybe the bear was eating his bees at night. Then legal. Or maybe he just meant after supper.

Anyway I hope you found it by now.

I looked all mourning from 5:30 am to 11:00 am......unfortunately from the last blood spot i spotted last night i didnt find more..... must of walked 3-5 km in each direction from the last blood.....nothing he vanished as did the blood trail that was actually quite decent at first.....things like this suck for a hunter and as for the animal but part of hunting big game is bad shot placement sometimes :/. Hit him low in intestines is my guess

Sounds like you put in a good effort on the follow up. Learn from the experience and move on. We've all been there at some time or another.

Use a trail cam to see if it comes back.

Awe that sucks..
I agree with put a trail cam up see if he comes back. I had a shoot through mesh incident. I was 100% sure I got a good hit on a young buck followed his tracks in the snow with little blood to no blood. Turned up back on cam a week later with no visible injuries.
