bow and arrow while we're talking about

01/31/2007

My husband loves to hunt and fish. He trains hunting dogs so he spends time hunting water fowl as well as upland game. He also likes hunting deer. When we had been married eight years he told me that he was going to apply for a permit to hunt black bear. The population of black bear is rising in our area so there were many permits that were available through lottery. My husbands name was drawn for a zone fairly close to our home. The day he received his license he said he was going to have to start target practicing. I did not think too much about his comment until I saw him take his bow and arrow set out of the closet. That is when he informed me that he had applied for an archery permit.

This article was written to answer many of the most frequently asked questions on this topic. I hope you find all of this information helpful.

My husband has hunted with his bow and arrow for many years. I know that he is accurate and careful when hunting; however I did not like the odds of him sitting in a tree with a bow and arrow if there was a wounded bear on the ground. He assured me that he would be safe hunting the bear with bow and arrow. He told me that he would need my help for the two weeks prior to the season opening and also through the season. He needed me to help him locate, purchase and distribute bear bait. Bear hunting was a completely new concept to me. I had no idea that hunters carried food out into the woods for the bear to eat, in the hopes that the bear will come during the time you are sitting in a tree close to the bait station. It made me even more nervous to find out that he was going to be sitting with a bow and arrow at a place that the bear is considering an easy meal location. My husband kept telling me that the bears were more afraid of him than he was of them. In mid August we began supplying the bait station. We used day old bread and sweet rolls that we purchased from a bakery. We put out damaged fruit and vegetables from the produce department of a local grocery store. My husband also purchased a sweet molasses from the feed mill to pour on top of the bread while this was happening.

It was fascinating to me to go to the bait station and see the amount of food that was being consumed. My husband still insisted that he was going to be safe using the bow and arrow. He had checked the regulations and found that you can have a firearm in your vehicle, in case you would need to kill a wounded bear in conclusion.

My concern was getting from the tree stand to the vehicle if there was a wounded bear provided that.

The opening day of bear season my husband took his bow and arrow out to the tree stand he had put up. A friend of his went along and video taped the hunt from another tree stand. My husband did shoot a black bear with the bow and arrow and there was not a need for the firearm to begin with.
