Hey all,
One of my hunting plans this year includes trying to take a bear with my recurve. I’ve killed a couple mule deer with a compound bow but really don’t have a ton of bow hunting experience. For any of you that have killed a bear with traditional equipment what tactics did you use? I’m assuming I’ll end up finding an area with good numbers and trying to shoot one on or very near a logging road. I’m shooting every day at the moment but I’m pretty sure I’m going to need to get within 20 yds maybe 25 at the furthest. Any tips or general areas conducive to recurve hunting bears is much appreciated. I’ll likely take a week in early may and set up a wall tent somewhere good.
