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.

Congrats! I hope he has a big house, something like that takes up a ton of room.

It's ballsy killing a large bear with a bow. He must of been up a tree stand and close to his target.

Come on fellas, it's just a black bear. A well placed shot and he is done in about 1 minute and never new what hit him.

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]

That's sad. I would rather kill a human than a bear.
