A buddy of mine from Franklin, NC, took a member of his Junior American Fly Fishing Team down to the NC coast to fill a bow tag. Boy did they ever fill it! Second largest bear in NC history according to the biologist, 800 lb. on the nose. He also met Jim Shockey there. Enjoy the pics and that’s my buddy Paul standing next to Mr. Shockey.
I forgot to add, it was fair chase. No dogs, no bait.

That is Awesome!!
I like watching Shockeys shows.
Thanks for posting!!

Maybe DoubleN but he didn’t get it. That smiling young man got it. I just watched the video of the shot, the bear hardly even flinched when the arrow hit and then ran off. Plodded off, he was a bruiser.

Is that the kid that does the fly fishing TV shows? If it is he can fish pretty good to!
I guess so, he’s on a fishing show with Paul. I see him posting on FB these kids winning gold medal all over the world representing the US.

I’ve watched bears climb trees. A cat has nothing on a bears climbing gear! It would have to be life or death before I would consider sticking a bear. I’ll stick to high caliber repeating rifles, when it comes to bears.
That aside, dang nice kill!
Follow up pics, another 500+ bear and a guy in a bear suit…
