Archery Giant! Saskatchewan Brown Bear at 22 Yards!

Absolute tank of a spring bear weighing in at 422lbs! We were truly blessed to have spent so much time watching this beast as close as 18 yards away. Nick has had trail camera pictures of this bear since 2015, and his mouth hasn't stopped drooling since. As an added bonus we captured all aspects of the hunt on film, we really enjoyed the recovery so hopefully you will find it as fun as we did! Congratulations once again Nick, bear of a lifetime.

[@prestonjoy8092]

@@spiderreed350 Rather than that creature die the cruel death of nature, usually starvation in their older years, they are honored and admired for the incredible and majestic animals they are, and given a place in the homes of those who respect them. I share my home with, and honor the animals I have harvested. I have immortalized them, and pay respect to their sacrifice daily... Not all need to die, but a person that gives of themselves, and their own resources to make a harvest of a mature animal, should respect it enough to honor it, or you should never be out there. After taking my largest Bear, I shot with a camera for years, and some of my favorite trophies are pictures... This man will not kill for blood lust, but the caliber of animal taken has raised the bar, and the amount of respect for them.... If you ever do take a wild animal, all that is required is to be thankful, respectful, and humble.

Buddy wasn't comfortable taking the shot and I think he might have had a branch in his path that we used for cover on the blind as well? It's been a while can't remember totally. So he would have had to stand up to make the shot which likely would have spooked him off.

It's a BIack bear (Ursus americanus) not a brown aka grizzIy bear. BIack bears can be bIack/dark, brown, bIonde, cinnamon, or almost any shade in between. Spirit bears in the pacific NW aka Kermode bears are a white/beige subspecies of bIack bears (Ursus americanus kermodei). North American Brown bears (Ursus arctos) and grizzIy bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) have different ears, snouts, facial features and shape of the face as weII as a distinct hump on their shoulders and grizzIy bears have that silver/lighter tipped fur, giving them the name and grizzled appearance to the fur. Yes I'm an animaI geek for sure 😂 and Iove aII of nature's animaIs but I'm not against ethicaI hunting. Especially for those who hunt to feed their famiIies. Stay safe out there in bear country.
