Gavindodd Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm 13 yrs old and I'm going on a bear hunt with my bow.... Anyone have suggestions on broadheads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've black bear hunted with my now but have yet to take one. I used the same set up I do for whitetail and most research I found on the subject says the same thing (unless you mean brown bears which would be a different ball game). I use a fixed 4 blade cut on contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I agree with Fly. You are punching through something tougher than a deer. Use a fixed blade broadhead. I really like Slick Trick Mags. Edited February 6, 2015 by RangerClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Good fixed blade. Wait for a quartering away or broadside shot, study the bears anatomy, (it's much different than a deer).. that shoulder is tough to get through..don't shoot it there. get well behind shoulder. you should be fine, http://www.bear-hunting.com/2014/5/m...shot-placement my 5 year old grandson killed a bear last week..., he was hunting on the ground, in Grampa's spooky forest......"Grampa was up in his tree stand, and he saw a buck,I was on the ground and I saw a bear.....it was dark, and all I could see was the whites of it's eyes, Grampa couldn't see it, so I poked the bears eyes out, and I put a big hole in its side with my stick...then he was dead"!....(guess he got placement right)..cant wait to put a bow in his hands!...OR maybe I'll just get him a Spear!?....lol Wonder if Buckee is related??
