April 30 black bear
Well we started baiting couple weeks ago and had one good boar on camera. We had a sit on Saturday trying to get him and got lucky. Made it more special to be with two buddies and one on my buddies little boys ( another AO member) . Kid did a heck of a job sitting and was pretty pumped. The bear was a heck of a nice Boar. I haven't measured him as it was a late night by the time we got him home and skinned and now in the freezer.
Bear was pretty spooky, finnally came in just before legal and was able to sneak an arrow in however didn't get the shot filmed... Camera doesn't work well in low light.
I have a video I'm going to share, unfortunately in the bush it gets darker faster and was unable to get footage of the shot but put a little video together. My disclaimer is I didn't put more then 45 min into editing so please be gentle with feedback..

Best of luck to everyone else!!

Lol... Thanks for telling me I don't have a melon head 
Yeah would have loved to have the whole hunt on video but in that light it was now or never and I wasn't passing the chance up..
Thankfully it's early and we will have more bears and more friends to film..
Thanks guys
