Post by: BRITTMAN on March 26, 2011, 09:36:00 PM: Slayer there is some great Bear hunting here in N.C. , check out conmans guide service . He is a trad. archer also and told me if I went on one of his bear hunts that he would set me up for my stick bow and that I could take my limit in deer at no extra charge . You cant beat that deal .

Post by: Kenneth on March 26, 2011, 09:41:00 PM: One of my top hunting goals with a longbow is to kill a big mature bear and I saw a perfect candidate on my families land in WV this past season. His ears looked tiny on his big melon head.
