      I was planning to put in for a Spring Bear Tag but haven't decided if I am going to put in for points or not.

      <p>Realize this is an old post but thought, might be able to bring some life to it.</p>
      <p>I hunt bear quite a bit with the bow.  I have a couple of encounters this year in the dark (one of which wasn't very cool).  Closest I got was I had one at 30 yards about 20 minutes before shooting time and all I could make out was outline.  It was a cool season none the less and anytime I get to play with the bears it is pretty awesome.</p>
      <p>Anyone have any luck this year?</p>

      Thanks for Sharing Michael. I shot a nice bear during bow season at 25 years. The shot was a bit high but I dont think that my Rage opened up because I found no blood. I have it on video so I know exactly where I hit him. I saw him 3 nights later on my trailcam. I couls clearly see his wound from the arrow so I was sure it was him

      <p>So my buddy had the exact same thing happen to him 3 years ago with a bear.  And what you described is almost exactly what he had happen. I got a nice bear last year but was using spitfire maxxx 125gr broadheads and they did the trick.  I am probably done with bear for this year and going to focus on deer.  But love to hear bear stories!</p>

      Seeing a Bear in the wild is pretty exciting. Deer &amp; Bear season run at the same time here in NY so the bear do come past my stand while deer hunting
