no, it was a black bear who weighted in at 320. I am so hooked , I can't wait for september as we don't have a spring hunt.
wish we had grizzly out here but none in eastern canada. I've since gone to 44# so maybe a trip out west to meet the grizzly would be a good idea .
beautifu animals they are. saw a few when I worked out west.

Go get 'em bro. I use my 48# K-Mag for turkeys and have no reservations what so ever. Gotta love them old Bear bows! Good luck brother.

! At least until I finally pick up another longbow

I will be using a 42# 59 Kodiak tomorrow morning.
Used a 40# 1959 Bear Alaskan last year - worked fine.

You guys have got to be kidding me. I've never even seen a 45# turkey.
