Heading to Alaska in May to put the walk'n'stalk on a blackie. I'll be using a 66# Schafer with CX Heritage 250's, a woodsman head that weigh up around 650.  

For the fall, I'll be using my Bob Lee 65 @ 28 with 190 gr grizzly. Total arrow weight around 650 grain, God willing.

Oh yeah forgot the gear response for this thread.  I use a 64" PMAV Widow  50@30  with 31" goldtips with either a 150 Wensel or a Zwickey Eskimo.  Total weight of 490 grains.

18 days and counting til Cordova, AK trip. 64# Adcock 3 piece with large single-bevel 2 blades.

Hopefully enough bad medicine if a Brownie tries to maul me.

I am already dreaming of south facing hills and Devil"s club

Bear Quest in La Tuque with Tom, Bowdoc, and a host of 'Gangers

62"A&H CXS 58#@27"
AD Trad Lite w/ Magnus I 150gr 4blade

Startin' to get close!

56# selfbow I made and wood arrows.  

62# Border Griffon GL longbow with GT's and Woodmans(545gr total). Hunting in Quebec for the 4th year in a row with the fearless bear guide and Tradganger Tom Phillips, the master warden baiter and legendary bowdoc, and a host of other awesome Tradgangers! Bait. Dense woods. Bait.

if'n i wuz crazy enuf to hunt bear i'd use the 55# mohawk and a woodsman tipped beman at 610 grains.  but mama didn't raise no idjiot - bears eat peoples, and since i are a people, no bare huntin' for me, ever.  

BC spot and stalk, set up Morrison 56# @ 27"s Shawnee FMJ 500s with a 150grn Silver Flame XL up front. Wieght is right around 500grns getting thumped out at 196. I know it's light for some but they penetrate like a son of a gun. Plus you can shoot through much tighter brush or windows.  It's not crazy high FOC but it up at 18% plenty for me.  Good Luck evry one post pics. My hunts the end of May into June. Hope I time it right!!
