Thanks everyone!!!
I've been watching this bear and a couple others for the last couple weeks. This particular bear had the nicest coloration, but was the smallest. The bear came in at 4:00 for a swim, once he came out of the water he stopped at about 14 yards to shake off. After the shot he traveled less than 20 yards and piled up. I used a PSE X-Force Axe 6 @ 73 lbs with a G5 Striker broad head, the arrow passed completely through. Bears can be so tough to track with even the best shot, so it was nice I was able to watch him go down.

I was sitting in a tree stand.

After a few weeks of looking I finally located a few bears. Here is a pic of a boar I shot last week.

This muzzleloader was purchased Last September. I only put around 50 rounds through it. Included with the rifle are Leupold 1 piece base and dovetail rings. Everything is in excellent condition. I will be in the Phoenix area Thursday afternoon if anyone is interested. I'm asking $650.00 for rifle, base and rings or $700.00 for everything.

Nice job Pat, she looks like a beast!! I'm glad to see your dad was along on the hunt!! Now its time to pull out the spandex and dust off the mountainbike!!!

They are both big boars, but the camera does add a few extra pounds

I just wanted to share some pics of a couple bears we shot over the last month. One of the big boars was killed under the Commissioners Tag last month and the other was shot on Saturday.

I agree shot placement is key.. I was more interested in how well they shoot at high speed in addition how well they hold up. Sounds like they work well on fair skin animals, but maybe not so well on bigger critters. This particular setup is going to be for bear, maybe I'll just stay with the fixed blade setup.

I'm thinking of switching back over to a mechanical head and was considering using a Rage 2 or 3 blade. What has been the consensus on these broadheads?

I just wanted to share a couple pictures of this buck I shot in 32 on Saturday.. I glassed him up bedded at 9:00, I ranged him at 499 yds, shortly after 10:00 his doe stood up and he did too. A couple of shots, later and possibly a few more shots and the buck was down. Three days prior I glassed up a large Tom which really disappointed me because It was going to force me to go and try a new area, but I decided I'd hunt the area a couple more times before I switched locations.. Glad I did!!! The buck is a 3x4, but really just a huge two pointer.. I hope you enjoy the pics...

I buy inexpensive cameras for that reason alone. If you’re going to put cameras on water you’re going to have problems with UDA's. A week ago I went to check on my cameras and I found one of my cameras missing after looking in the tank I saw my strap floating, the only thing salvageable was the SD card. Yesterday I found two more cameras missing. I bounced into BP and they were telling me their cameras get stolen and bashed in by UDA's all the time, so they've started hanging them high up in trees. I would suggest getting some type of locking system for your cameras, that’s my next investment. Bottom line, if you use cameras you will eventually lose some.
One other thing I know some cameras have an auto flash, if yours do put a piece of tape over the flash. Who cares if you don't get pics a night, it's not your going to be hunting then anyhow.
good luck!
