I remember my first bear hunt. Hunt I will never forget. Very addictive. Take your time and wait for that perfect shot. I like a quartering away shot. Vitals are forward on those bears. Good luck and hit em on the hairy side. Lol lawman

Good luck, Leon. I know you have the animals up your way. Playing the wind is the biggest problem. Post pics when you stick one.

Thanks guys.Didn't see any bears. When the sun came up I did have a coyote come running down the hill.He stopped about 50 yards turned and ran back up the hill. I have the stand tomorrow then I don't get it again til Monday.That's the only thing bad about sharing with two other guys.
Out of the three of us I am the only one with a recurve. I am trying to turn them on to the trad bow.

Good luck your hunt, filmed a good friend here in Michigan's U P get his first traditional bear with a steel force about 4 years ago, was still shaving sharp after being stuck in the off side shoulder!  All the best to you in your hunt and hopefully you can bring a couple more guys over to the trad side.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Good luck. I have taken 2 trad bears here in NY. Took the second one with a phathead 225 & perfect passthrough. Lots of pictures with big smiles!!
