A guy I know (an instructor, took one of his courses) took a bear the other day while hunting, snuck up behind him and he got him with a bow. Freakin badass.

Here's his account of it...

K, out of the woods for the PM. AAR- My buddy bugled a locate to a bull several hundred yards above us. I set up in the brush on the down hill side of him and started to cow call to draw the bull past him. I was kneeling with my attention uphill. I heard a stick crack close to my rear. My bow was leaning against my knees with arrow nocked. I slowly took grasp of it and clicked my release on the string. I started to slowly turn up onto my left knee as I was scanning my eyes to my rear. Half way around my brain registered bear, just as the musty odor hit my nostrils. I went to full draw at the same time the beast registered me. It stepped broadside to me but didn't budge an inch, just stared at me. I loosed the arrow, sticking it through the heart and out the other side. The bear bolted, I dropped the bow, jumped to my feet and drew my .44 Mag. The bear folded up about forty yards away. I don't think the critter initially even recognized my presence. I was rock still, well concealed, and scent free (right up to that point)

That's sick! I don't think I have the balls for that. We always use dogs and guns. Sneaking up on a bear is not for me.. Although I think I would look sweet with my face painted like that!

Did you read the quote from him? He didn't sneak up on the bear, the bear snuck up on him!
They were hunting elk, he heard a twig snap behind him, turned around, and there it was... so he shot it (@ 7 yards, BTW).

Very cool story. Good thing for that stick! If not the bear might have found the snickers he forgot was in his pocket!
