RE: outfitter wont allow 100 gr
First off all I think that labeling all Canadians as stupid it just stupid. Right here in good ol USA, in my home state of Idaho we have a few archery rulles that get out of staters in trouble every year. The biggest rule that the out of staters break all the time is no more than 65% let off. I don't agree with the rule myself, but its a rule and if you shoot an animal with a bow with 70% let off or more you are breaking the law. In Idaho we have to use no less than a 400 grain arrow/broadhead combo and be able to pull 40 pounds. That rule I do agree with, with a big animal like, Elk or Moose its takes a lot more KE than the average whitetail deer. Another rule that gets people into trouble is no mechcanical broadheads for all big game. I wish they would amend that rule to only elk, moose and bear, and allow you to use expandables for deer and antelope but they don't so we have follow it. I know that you might be mad about it, and it seems stupid having to use a 125 grain broadhead but that is the outfitters rule. He might be new to guiding archery hunters and is not wanting to take any chances, and figures he is playing it safe by making his clients follow this rule. Or maybe he has had a few bears get away after being hit with 100 grain heads and he blames it on the lighter broadhead. If I were you I would ask your outfitter strait out why he has the rule. I agree that killing or not killing and wounding a bear is all about shot placement placement, and 25 grains will not make a difference. But because of the rule your outfitter does, I don't know I would cancel, but just make the switch to the 125 grain heads, change arrows if needs be and go have some fun and kill a bear. Just my 2 cents
