Ive hunted these guys before but really only had one shot opportunity and put the arrow to far back and never found him.
Anyway this past week I got to hunt some more over a feeder.
No bow setups, so I placed a chair hiding behind a small cedar near the feeder. No camo, no scent prevention and actually smoking cigs. But the wind was perfect.
1/2 hour before dark they show up, I heard them coming so I stood up to shoot over the small cedar, put an arrow tipped with a 4 blade muzzy right in the arm pit. he went about 80 yds where we found him following a descent blood trail.
The new fred bear is 3 for 3
