[QUOTE="Warbird2006, post: 1086047, member: 46545"] Gens first year hunting the bruin with a crossbow. Yesterday, I ran into 2 bears feeding on top of a small hill. Could not get a clear shot, they were 50 yeards away and I could only see their heads coming out of the tall grass. So I went down the hill and waited for them on a meadow under. Well, always sudden there is a bear front of me, 10 - 15 feet, growling at me, I almost **** my pants. Honestly I chickened out, turned around and ran about 70 feet back, what I felt it was a safe distance, it was probably mama bear protecting her 2nd year cub. Now, if I had my 375 H&H, no problem, but with a crossbow? would you take the shot? Even on those 10-15' he was head on against me. Would a bow in front chest be a kill shot? Or make sufficient damage to kill the bear? What if I'd hit the neck? My crossbow is Strikerforce sending the bows at 380 ft/s, but man, at the moment they looked like tooth picks. Anyway, I would welcome any thoughts, gentlemen. [/QUOTE]
