This season is rapidly approaching a close. On September the 7th, I had 2 buck and 1 bear tag. By Sept 7 evening, I had 1 less buck tag. After hunting 14 hrs a day for 2 days in 94-96 degrees F , then 3 hours in approaching 85 degrees on the 3rd day (Sept 17 - 19) , I was down to 1 buck tag. It’ll take quite a buck for me to use that tag.
Fishing is good in the fall months There’ll be more of that this year.

I believe that it’d be appropriate to mention what gives me confidence in my very unconventional method of bear hunting - ground blind with barrel at 47 or 54 yards.
It’s the 375g Edgetac , single bevel broadhead.
I was asked to test it. Had zero expectation of anything good coming out of this testing. The first arrows I tried were some of Boo’s 20” AV3 fletched Zombies. 😳 1” 3-shot 60 yd groups out of the BD400. Now, with the improved limbs and lighted nocks, the wt is 715g and speed is 292. The shot is virtually silent.
After a good hit on a small bear with a TruGlo and only 50% penetration (450g ish total wt, 350’/sec +/-) , I was ready to try the Edgetac. It put a 400# bear down virtually instantly. This year’s was smaller (~200#) - picked the wrong bear by accident. Down in 50 yds. The huge 1 1/2” single bevel blade is like a roto-rooter. The bear don’t stand a chance.
