My Black Bear Hunt 2024

[Herdbull]

Once you go back and wind up the spent string from the woods, you realize the string volume in one of these little spindles.

Congratulations on the nice bear, Mike.

Frassettor - My bow was a Brian Wessel made recurve bow from Wessel Archery 64", 55#@31, Arrows are tapered Doug Fir from WUDARAZ, with 5" four fletch, with 250 gr VPA 3 blade, total arrow 740 gr. I don't see the 250 gr glue-ons on the VPA site anymore, in which case I'll use the 190 gr on woodies.

Mike always comes through. Now that he's fully retired, we hope to see a lot more great threads and pictures from him. This one kills me as I was supposed to share a ride up with him for this same hunt and had to back out at the last minute because of situations beyond my control. Put it this way... I've not backed out of many other hunts in my life. Ha.  bw
