Hi guys, Thanks for your interest.
Well, I shot this bear (in fact it was a lone sow that I tough was a decent boar) on june 29th. The season ends on june 30th. It was a tough season since I had some trouble with my bait location (a forest company was doing some work in a gravel pit not 100 yards from my bait site and the site was not visited by bear until june 18th).
Me and a friend run our own bait sites on public lands. Thats some job carrying the bait and setting everything but the reward is just only better.
This is my 10th bear, my second with archery equipment.
She weighted 170 pounds field dressed. This is a very old sow. She missed some front teeth. She also had the scar from a snare around her neck. I shot her from a tree stand at 12 yards. Like Gary Cooper from SlickTrick broadheads said: That's what she get for looking butch.
I use a 2006 Hoyt Powertec at 70 pounds, 2514 arrows (yes that's old school in this speed carbon craze era, but they work!) and a slick Trick 125 Magnum broadhead.
I put the arrow behind the right shoulder and got a complete passthrought. the arrow exited just in front of the left front leg. She expired after a 30-40 yards run.
Bears are not difficult to kill, shot placement is the key. Put a bullet or an arrow in the heart-lungs area of a bear and he will run 50 yards max. No matter what firepower you use. Same fo any other animal.
This is my 2007 bear...a big boar of 215 pounds field dressed. Shot with my Savage 99 308 Win loaded with Hornady's 180 Round Nose bullet and W748 powder.
This is my 2008 bear. A big boar of 270 pounds field dressed. Shot with my archery gear. This one will be scored in september for an entry in the P&Y book. He is well over 19".
I lost my glasses between 2007 and 2008...thanks to laser surgery.

Nice bears, especially for Quebec standards.
your story sounds a lot like mine, Got my bear on the 28th, they also only started hitting the bait around the 15th of june (baiting began first week of May).
where abouts did you hunt? (no need to be specific). I hunt on my property which is located only 60km north-west from Montreal, surprisingly there are a few bears in my region.
