well yesterday I caught sight of a giant black bear not far from my house. this thing was huge. I'm no expert but it had to be at least 400-500 pounds maybe more. im basing the weight by considering its size to a full grown heifer which are usually about 1200 pounds. he wasn't in a rush to do anything he was clawing at the ground and eating something on the wooded edge of a hay field. the monstrous size of this beast makes perfect sense because black bear hunting in this part of East Tennessee is archery only and archery hunters are few and far between around here.and ive never ever heard of anyone shooting a black bear here with anything but a camera.
is it even possible to expect to take down a bear this size with a compound bow or crossbow?
