From what it has described, the bows that I have, will both do the trick. The only thing that bothers me is his ladder stands are only seven to 10 ft., I think and like to belittle but higher. I have lone Wolf Alpha tree stand and lone wolf climbing sticks. So I think I'll use those.
And that's what the taxidermist said " it can be addicting" I have been nose to nose with a black bear, I do get a little nervous, when I see them now. So I think this will help, in taking away a little bit of that fear. By the way I walked away from that incident, without as much as a scratch. Because I was coolheaded, until the bear got about 10 yd. away, and then I get real shaky. It will always be a memorable moment, and I'm glad I'm here to tell the story. He did snort in my face, and his " bear juice" got on my nose, but it really could've been worse.
He did say that because the stands are low, one year he had a bear, put his front paw on his ladder stands platform, that's why I want to go higher !
I'll make a nice bear rug out of one.
