This year a dream came true for me. Since 1993, when my grandfather got his Grandmaster award from the Alberta Bowhunters Association, it was always my dream to accomplish that.
On my quest for 6 different species of Pope & Young animals, I only had 4 animals and need 2 more, and a Black Bear was an animal that I didnt have.
This spring, a good friend of mine was running some baits and invited me up. He had some amazing bears on camera and I was excited.
The first evening, we had 12 bears come in but nothing we were looking for.
We decided to try a morning hunt and an hour after we got in the stand, this big fella walked in. A 19 yard shot and a 30 yard recovery and it was all over.
The arrow went through and hit the off side leg. The Black Widow Innovations Widowmaker broadhead broke the off side leg in four pieces and looked like new still.
He is a 7 foot bear and green scored just a touch over 20"
I'm very excited to say the least.

KyleSS,
Congrats on another magnificent beast with archery tackle.
Impressive performance by the broadhead.
Sorry for the three posts but I felt each response deserved their own.

Bump for the best thread of the year, something had to have hit the ground by now.

No kidding. Hard to believe the sheep and archery season have been open for 2 full days now in the north and not a single harvest report or picture in a hunting forum. A million posts in the general section though...

Sounds like lots of critters have dropped. By the sounds of all the gun shots I’ve heard out bow hunting

Got it done today solo. It was my first day in Elk camp I found one that wanted to play. Called this guy in to 20 yards. It was a very long day of butchering and packing out meat. The old body is feeling it that's for sure. Attachment 166663

pretty sure I'm lost...
Uhhh hi...
Couldn't help noticing the incredible pictures sent in and the amazing kills made. All of them and the marksman and women are extremely impressive... and equally intimidating...
OK...
Here it goes. Big breath in... hold it... mentally prepared to absorb the backlash... and exhale...
K go!... sorry but I couldn't help noticing a small detail in almost every picture. It seems that a vast majority of you appeared to be using a bow to make your truly impressive kills. So can I assume that this may not be the place to talk about my crossbow? Could I also assume that there might be an alternative thread I should be looking for? Concurrently I should be breathing the same air as you gifted snipers?...
K bring it. I'm ready...

My fiancé was able to arrow her first whitetail last night. There was some excitement in the blind to say the least.
He came by a couple minutes before last light and she made a great quartering away shot at 25 yards
