no, it was a black bear who weighted in at 320. I am so hooked , I can't wait for september as we don't have a spring hunt.

wish we had grizzly out here but none in eastern canada. I've since gone to 44# so maybe a trip out west to meet the grizzly would be a good idea .

beautifu animals they are. saw a few when I worked out west.

Go get 'em bro.  I use my 48# K-Mag for turkeys and have no reservations what so ever.  Gotta love them old Bear bows!  Good luck brother.

Aww heck...what am I saying, I use the K-mag for everything in the woods down here these days  :) ! At least until I finally pick up another longbow  ;)

Here are two turkeys I got this past fall. One w/ a 44# Maddog longbow, one w/ a 47# Rocky Mtn Recurve. Both worked out fine.

I will be using a 42# 59 Kodiak tomorrow morning.  

Used a 40# 1959 Bear Alaskan last year - worked fine.

You guys have got to be kidding me. I've never even seen a 45# turkey.
