Dan,
You got a webiste or anything. I might think about booking a hunt with ya.

Another thing I do is set the baits up so the bears are almost always quartering away or at least broadside. I do this with positioning of logs in a V shape in front of a tree and placing the bait at the back of the V.
Another note about bears is they may not bleed as much as adeer because of the thicker hair and more fat.
If, after the shot, you think you may have hit it too far back, wait until morning and I gurantee you will find it within 100 yds.
As far as vitals, they sit farther forward than a deers. I reccomend waiting for a quartering away shot. I also tell my hunters never to shoot a bear while it is laying down, only standing up. A bear laying downwill give you a smaller target at the vitals.
Good Luck!!!!!

Thanks Dan for the response. I've always said that a bow setup for whitetails is as adequate for black bears. Black bears have a thinner skin although thicker hair than a whitetail.
Jamiebuck, I took my bear with a Muzzy broadhead on a Beman ICS. It entered the bears front shoulder and exited the opposite rear quarter splitting the femur bone perfectly with a 3 blade imprint through it...the bear expired in seconds 50 yards away....have a great hunt.....aim small, miss small and enjoy.

Out of respect to the forum I will not publicly give the name of my resort.
I don't want to be accused of using it for my gain.
