\u00a0I have not hunted black bear for quite some time, but it can be very exciting with a good outfitter and remote land access. I estimate the weight of this bear in the above image near 400 pounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is even better is that very often you will see more than one bear or two or more on a 6 day hunt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most hunting is done in afternoon and evening on ground blinds or tree stands over bait.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Baiting is a great way to hunt bear, in particular, because you can be selective; e.g., to pass or shoot a smaller or larger adult bear. <\/span><\/p>\n

The tough part is to gage the size of a bear coming to bait. Often, bears, particularly big ones, come to bait just minutes before dark, making judging size, and fur color even harder. <\/span><\/p>\n

I am very pleased with my 10 Point Turbo Crossbow (390 – 400 fps) and my NAP Killzone Cut-on-Contact 100 grain mechanical broadheads.\u00a0 Bears often hit with a razor sharp broadhead in the heart\/lung area, will run flat out for 10 seconds and then collapse deader-than-a-door-nail… never knowing what bit them. Too far forward may result in the arrow hitting the scapula bone and tough tracking so the shot must be true.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Killzone provides a practice blade. It isn\u2019t easy to assemble the practice blade but once done, it works. Note; that the there is a pencil point type head that you can get as well for this broadhead but i prefer a cut-on- contact point. <\/span><\/p>\n
