I am somewhat of an authority on shooting smallish bears, lol.

Well I decided to take him and your right ground shrinkage does happen, lol. He looked decent in the trail cam videos and it being my second bear with my bow and only 3rd ever he is the biggest for me to date. It was a great experience learned a lot about hot to better judge a size going forward as well in tracking blood trails, Which will all come in handy when one day when i do get a chance at a bruiser. For now i just feel honoured to have an opportunity to harvest such a beautiful animal.
With experience comes maturity and i think im going in the right direction as a self taught hunter. Pics to come soon!!
