Got in the stand monday morning by 6:15am. Had a mom and three cubs come past my stand by 6:45. About 10 minutes later had a monster coyote running around. Froze my ass off, wind was shitty. Could have sworn i heard a deer grunting. By 10am the wind was out of control almost got out of the tree but decided to stay bc we always had bears on the cams at 1pm. Sure enough 1:15pm, i see a this bear dart across the swamp in front of me. Soon enough it came within 15 yards almost completely broadside but walking. Gave a little brrr. It stopped i shot, when i shot the bear grawled and tried to grab at the arrow, fell to the ground and ran about 30-40 yards and dropped.

We thought it was a young bear, until we got to the check in station. The "bear dentist" said it was a runt bear that was a few years old, thats why the paws were bigger than usual and the K9 teeth were huge.

That's actually quite interesting considering bears are the top predators and normally have first dibs on whatever to eat, so to see or hear of a runt bear is intriguing.
 
With all the "big bear" talk going on, it's nice to see someone who cares about the hunt and not the size. Congratulations.
i havent seen any of that going on at all. just some hunters having fun and taking advantage of hunting bears in nj with archery equipment. im actually very proud to say i share the woods with a lot of hunters on here. its a great thing happening now get out there!
