Spring Black Bear Tips

[snipersights]

Some great tips on this thread!! I'm so pumped to get out for my first spring bear hunt.
I currently dont have a PAL so I will be chasing them with the bow. For those using bows, Do you use the same broadheads that you use for deer or something different?
I noticed a few people mentioned difficulty in tracking a shot bear and was wondering if it would be better to use a mechanical broadhead to increase wound channel?
Keep the tips and advice coming and thank you all that have contributed.

I use Excalibur’s bolt cutters they chop em up goood.

Can't count how many times I've seen a bear out in the sun munching away on a patch of grass and then I've seen him in the exact same spot around the exact same time the following day. If you see one and he buggers off, go back and watch from a distance and there's a good chance you'll have another opportunity. I wish deer were that habitual during open season.

Another thing. Sort of covered above already. If you see a bear feeding in a certain area and can’t get at him that day, go back tomorrow he’ll probably still be there. Once they find a good food source they tend to stay on it for a while. Try not to spook them if you cannot get close enough for a shot just wait and go back tomorrow.

If you can get into a spot where some others may not go like real crappy roads deactivated roads you may find yourself a nice big bear. I shot myself a real fat bear in a spot like that. It looked like a big blop of jello walking down the road. Cruising along real slow and eating along the way. And that was in the spring.
