Don Kramlich - "The biggest thrill I've every had bowhunting!"
Yesterday Don had seen a large bear cross the road while he was waiting to be picked up after dark. The bait was destroyed when Don arrived so he baited and went to the stand. Half an hour later he heard a bear. It walked right below him and stopped. Then the bear circled and went toward the bait -- seven yards broadside in front of the stand the bear was perfect for a shot. Don shot him, the bear jumped in the air, and roared ... very loud. Double lunged, the boar ran for 30 yards and dropped and made a death moan. Don still had 3 hours to wait and 2 other bears came into the area and were there at dark. As prearranged, if a bear was on the bait at pick up time, Kirby walked to the bait, which, as planned, spooked the bears away.

This was Don's first bear. Don said, "Bear hunting is not the same as deer hunting. You are luring them in rather than ambushing them. My heart really raced when the bear looked up at me from under the stand."
This was the biggest thrill Don has ever had bowhunting. "
