Ken, that's not my bear, my name is Jeff.
Pics are from a friend back home in Alaska. I just wanted to prove to RYD that hanging out in a tree stand with a bow isn't as "ballsy" as it may seem. You're sure as fuk
not going to stalk a BROWN bear with a bow and not have a backup gun.
Brown bear heartbeat is what, 12 bpm, you could shoot it in the heart and it could "hypothetically" still have enough time to take your a$$ out!
I've been in a tree stand over a bait station waiting on a black bear to show up (I didn't have a brown bear tag) only to observe a brown bear tear up the bait station and look up at me every once in a while. It's pretty fricken scary (not ballsy) knowing that it could take the tree I was in down, and, have it's way with me at any given moment.
Even if I shot it, it would most likely live long enough to leave a lasting impression.
You are right though and I agree that it is a good size bear!
I just can't imagine poking it with arrows in order to acquire a nickname of "Balls."
