Wow, many of my friends and family feel I am a bit off for some of the adventures I partake in but I can't imagine hunting Brown bears in close quarters with a stick bow. You my friend are one crazy feller. I can't say I wouldn't try it but I sure would be puckered.

Edge of my seat for sure.  What a great adventure.  I'd like to say that I could do that.....but honestly I'm not sure I trust my longbow skills at that level.  
Just a great story!  Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!

       

OMG... if it takes 4 seconds for a whitetail to run 100 yards heart-shot...what damage can a brown bear do, while fatally wounded by a bow 20 yards away?

Back up or no... you must make a brass monkey blush!
