Took my youngest to see the movie Brave, now he doesn't believe you can take a large Black Bear with a trad bow. And he is terrified of me going hunting where bears are.

This isn't my bear, but here is a link to a nearly 400 pound bear over on the 2012 highlights forum; Had it been fall, I bet that bear would have been closer to 500 pounds!

Just click on my attached link and go to Photos. From there just scroll down and watch the videos. The first two are with Trad bows and the bears are not small.
