Hunted with a '61 Kodiak, bought from a TGer, and will shoot a 10 week indoor with it as well.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

'59 Bear Grizzly still works good.

Picked up a factory camo 1969 LH Super Kodiak 55lb a couple of months ago at a gun show. Plan to hunt with that or a 1962 Grizzly this next year

I have a 68 Polar that I use for small game, although she pulls enough to hunt deer. I have had a 67 kodiak hunter, a grizz and a Kodiak mag that I loved also. the 67 kodiak hunter tops all of them. I love old Bears

I was testing a new glue-on head this year and decided to team them with a set of Bear cedar arrows and a 1956 Kodiak Special . . . worked pretty well:^)

Mainly hunt with Kodiak Hunter.  Love it.  Got a button and a squirrel with it last week.  Great old bow.

My 1966 Grizzly is my go to bow. I just picked up a 1966 Kodiak that I will hunt with next fall. It just feels right when I'm in the woods with a an old Bear in my hand.

hunted with this '65 Kodiak a bit last year, bagged a doe with 'er first time out, no pic, sorry

 

Got this buck with my first bow, '68 Grizzly,56", 43# @ 28

Now I'm hunting with a Predator, basically a repro of the Bear takedowns

Not sure the year of this grizzly, but it was my first trad kill, so although it's not my main bow...it still sees the woods often!

My goto has been a Kodiak t/d for many years but this year I shot my first two deer with a pedator t/d and then 2 with the kodaik t/d and my last one went down to a 1966 kodiak I picked up mid season. Old Bears rule!
