Nope only the one. I was the lucky one this time... lol

Total lack of time and the fact I couldn't get an additional tag in the WMU I fall hunt in stopped me. Even when this normally happens I still run a bait - Just no time. I also lost permission due to a land sale of the only property I had with an established bait site further then 200 m from a road. Don't have the time right now to blaze a new trail 200 m through dense bush . . .

Those new baiting regs definitely buggered up a lot of hunters. Hopefully,they get modified ASAP.

I managed to take one on June 1st on our groups annual bear week trip. My 2nd with a stickbow. Everyone in the group had opportunities but this was the only one that came home.
As you can see, I used the fanciest new digital camo on the market

Those ears look plenty far apart, that's a fine boar there, wtg. Now that you've teased us with that, hows about a good story, some more pics and some specs on the critter and your recurve setup? I look forward to the thread.

Cheers

Great job on the stick bow bear! Serious bragging rights on that.

Gee... well, now I kinda feel like i've mislead you fellas. heehee
It's actually not a very big bear at all. <200lbs. It's a really good 'big fish' photo.
That said, I was more than happy to take it and make it a successful spring adventure. If ya'll are interested, I'll throw together a quick thread about this years successes, failures, and lessons learned. Traffic's been kinda light on here these days anyhow
