Bear season buck down

[Gobblengrunt]

After a tough deer season so far and even tougher bear season, I had the opportunity to take a decent 8pt this afternoon.  Perfect heart shot but still ran over 100 yards, easy recovery though.  A friend of mine had seen this buck about 2 miles away a week ago showing bucks moving prepping for the rut.  Shot this buck with a QAD exodus heads.  For a fixed head, they fly extremely well (I shot them out to 100 yards), really tough with super sharp blades.  Makes a great hole and puts a lot of blood on the ground, highly recommended!

Congrats Ron - another good one for you.     Very strange year for me nothing is as it should be or usually is to say the least.

NO!!  All the work, prep, and all day sits in areas where bears were showing themselves all day everyday apparently fell off the face of the earth.  Never seen anything like, they’re almost non existent this week, lol!  I did have my friends daughter out trying for her first bear with the bow.  We had a big sow within a few yards one morning sitting on the ground.  She could not get the shot off but a great experience for both anyway.

Congrats on the buck! Heart shots ain’t all they’re cracked up to be right! 
 

So it appears quite a few of us have experienced the “magical disappearing bears” this week! What the heck is the deal?
