First Brown Bear

[Arbowhunter32]

After living in Alaska for most of the last 14 years i was finally able to kill my first brown bear! I've baited for years and have only been able to get it done on black bears. I never dreamed my first brownie would be spot and stalk on a beach but that's exactly how it went down! My wife and some new friends were safely behind me at about 100-120 yards as i made my way into this bear. I got between her and a seal she wanted, got a range of 20 yards, then waited for a broadside shot. As soon as she got broadside, I drew and stood at the same time, settled my pin, and put the arrow through both lungs out the other side. 15 yards later she piled up! To make things better it was all captured on a video! This was the last morning at pretty much the last hour as we flew home that evening. I am beyond excited!

Ver cool! I'm glad it all came together for you.
Good pic, but where's the video?

I couldn't figure out how to post a video but i took screen shots of me coming to full draw on the bear. It's a little blurry. Thanks for the kind words!

Very nice. There’s an app called screen grabber that allows you to make clear photos out of videos. Just fyi. If you decide to upload the video to YouTube, link it here.

Nice. You won't forget that story soon.

Boom! That’s so awesome. And knowing you made a perfect shot, celebrating while it’s still running, wow, doesn’t get much better.

Wow! 20 yds from a live wild Brown Bear with a bow! I'd read years ago that Fred Beat had stopped a cape buffalo charge with a bow, living in nothing but guts!
