It was great having Don hunting with us opening weekend of bow. He’s an avid gun hunter and is making a move to do some bow hunting. His target species was bear and on the first day just before night fall, he could hear one on the other side of the thicket from our stand. On day number two, things got real interesting, when he saw not one, not two, but three different lone bears! The one bear came up behind our trail camera and was sniffing it, but it never presented a shot opportunity.  The last bear came right in at ten yards away, and when Don drew back, the bear heard his string hit his vest and did a one-eighty and bolted down the hill. When I picked Don up from the stand his last night, he was like a kid in a candy store after seeing all three bears. He kept saying how beautiful they were and was amazed at seeing them in the wild on his first ever bear and bow hunt. All in all, it was a successful hunt, as the bears got within range for his bow.  However, as every bow hunter out there has had similar things happen to them, sometimes it just doesn’t all come together. Don is pumped up from this hunting adventure and says he’ll be back soon. We’re looking forward to his return! 🏹  🐻
