I hunted the last week of the spring bear season in northern Quebec. This was a baited stand hunt and with such a hunt I only use a bow. On the first night a very nervous small bear came in and I elected to just watch him. On the second day I told the guide I wanted to video and he offered to film so he put a second stand nine feet above where I was positioned.

After being stormed on and sweating in the too hot early evening a large bear came to dinner. He had a full black coat and all of his hair was standing on end when he ran in. He was looking not only for food but a fight. He looked up at us briefly and then went to dinner. I decided I was going to take the bear. The video was running and as soon as the guide sends me a copy I will post it for you all to see. But here is my bear, a 245 pound boar on the scale, approximately seven years old.
