My future son-in-law shot this bear while bow hunting in Orange County, New York. The bear was 450 lbs. and will stand almost 7 feet tall on his hind legs when he's stuffed. He actually has a picture of it from earlier in the day on this trail camera that is mounted near his tree stand.
And close to a sidearm.
Yes he was in his tree stand. He hit an artery and found him less then a 100 yards away.

In NY it is unlawful to carry a firearm of any kind while pursuing big game during an archery only season.
Kinda stupid, but our powers that be do not trust us here.[ram27bat]
Good shot then, quick clean kill.=d>
NOBODY should trust a New Yorker with a gun!
