How many people have spot and stalked a P&Y black bear?
Shot a pretty good sized black bear years ago. Can't remember ever getting it scored officially,so can't tell you if for sure P&Y or not. Hide measured six ft. nose to tail, was a good sized boar with a fairly big head. I am thinking he would have made the book although not to high up. Spotted him in a cut block from the top of a high hill. Stalked him to about 30 yards and slipped an arrow into his rib cage. He ran about 50 yards and stopped, looked around, layed down and died. He never knew I was there and I don't think he even felt a thing other than the arrow passing through. Good thing he ran the opposite direction or I may have crapped the old chaps.
I havn't but I live on Vancouver Island and it is the place to do it. There are so many big bears here and pretty easy to spot in the clear cuts, the stalk would be the tricky part. Cheers Roscoe

Right you are, the stalk takes a long time. Getting to shooting range with a bow is very challenging. but I guess that is why we do it. I know that's why I bow hunt.
5 blacks over P&Y. One grizz but that ended up getting finished off with a rifle in heavy timber mid-charge. Black bears are a great animal to chase spot and stalk. Lots of P&Y bears around, easy to stalk, and you can get a dozen stalks or more a day in some areas.

People in SUVs, driving through their sprawling suburbs, will end the lives of more animals than a man with a bow ever could.
