Fall bear hunt

Great job. Congrats to all of you. Some really good eating there. Last 8 years we have added a bear roast to the thanksgiving meal and it always disappears faster than the butterball.

Species,
I cook a bear roast and a beef roast for supper bear hunting and deer hunting and the bear roast is gone way before the beef roast. Prepared and cooked right, bear roast is as good as any meat...
Thanks folks for the replies, it was an awesome hunt

He came in like a ghost to my left of the trail I was set up on. Stopped about 20 yards to the left of me with his nose up and sniffing. Made a few steps toward the barrel and stopped behind a tree (of course). Took a few more but still not a good shot, finally exposed his vitals so I took the shot. He reared up, barked and bit at the spot the arrow entered. Ran back down the trail he came from when I heard him pile up and take his final gasp of air. My Rage 125 grain went thru him like butter leaving a great blood trail. He only went 40 yards

Right on! Congrats!

Congrats nice bears.

Just a friendly reminder: mnr changed the tagging location again for bear if I am mistaken they require to attached the tag to the nostril instead of hind legs like last year.

However if the hunter is present with the carcass no need to attach the tag to the animal.

I really don't understanding why they keep changing.
