Hey, thanks for the replies.

When it comes to hunting I consider myself a loner. I pretty much never asked anyone for help, except for a couple of pointers I got from my dad. I would really like to try to do this myself (personal achievement, you know?), but I want to get as much info on it as possible first.

I was hoping there were some people here experienced in bear hunting. I would like to hear something firsthand.

Do you think I should start with something smaller?

Thanks for all your help!
