Love hunting bear! They are such interesting animals. I have been blessed to be able to watch probably 75 from elevated stands. On one of my most memorable hunts I had one bluff charge me as I climbed down from my stand.

It would be fun to shoot one with my .303, but so far I’ve taken two with my recurve bows. The biggest bear squared nearly 7’. If you hit them where you should they die pretty quickly. Both of mine died within about fifty yards or so.
