How long do cubs stay with mom??
I got pictures of this sow and her cubs all year last year in my honey hole. Shes the biggest bear I've seen in there, but even if it were legal I would never even dream of shooting her until I was sure the cubs were gone.
I shot a smaller bear with a bow a few years back but got almost NO penetration because I shot him too high up into the shoulder. I have been trying for a long time to redeem myself. My goal is to harvest a mature bear on film. Maybe one day........
