Got My 2017 NJ muzzleloader Bear Back
Finally got him back !!! I'm happy with the outcome!!<br /><br />My good friend Frank does taxidermist work on the side, I wasn't in any rush and told him to take care of other customers.<br /><br />I shot this bear on the last day of segment A with my T/C TRIUMPH, using two pellets of Triple 7 Magnum, and a 250 grain Barens T-EZ, the shot was only 40 yards, the bear came in at first light from the direction I thought they wouldn't come from, he ran maybe 10 yards and was down for a nap!!!<br /><br />The week of Segment A was warm and humid, I only saw one bear on the 2nd day, it was about 250 lbs. but of course it winded me. Then Friday evening I was so damn frustrated I wasn't going, but my wife convinced me to go and I decided last minute to take the smokepole

Congratulations BowHunterCop! I got my one and only black bear the same year, with my muzzle loader, and used the same pose on my mount that you did. I hunted over 30 years before a legal bear gave me a good shot and was extremely happy to take it. The meat was extremely tasty as well.
