Well before dawn on Oct. 15, Brian Melvin was 15-feet high in a climbing tree stand holding his 72-pound bow and waiting for a huge black bear that he knew was in the area.⁠ ⁠ Before long, the bear came down a well known trail and offered Melvin a shot at 45 yards. After making a great shot, Melvin texted his buddy for help tracking the bruin. They tracked the bear to a large rock bluff nearby where it had expired. Then the real work began. The estimated live weight of Melvin's bear was an incredible 900 pounds.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #bear #bears #blackbear #blackbears #bearhunt #bearhunting #blackbearhunting #hunting #huntingseason #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Brian Melvin⁠ Story by: Bob McNally
