First year bear hunting

[Wickman (Buckmaster)]

This is going to be my first year bear hunting and I just wanted to ask a few questions. How do you go about cleaning a bear? is it much different than gutting a deer? is there any websites that explain it well?Also, any other info on what to do after a bear kill would be great. Thanks for any info.

just like a deer.

watch where you aim. they have a lot of fur and fat. It can be deceiving! If bow hunting, stay away from the shoulder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my first year too. My experience is limited, but that's what I learned.
