Hunting with old Bears

[Stone Knife]

Joe and I are going to be hunting with our 70's Bear grizzlies this season, and with all the nice pics on the Bear bow thread, I was just wondering how many folks here will be hunting with these old beauties.

Hi All,

Until two years ago I hunted with a Bear Kodiak Magnum (50# @28") that I bought new about 1972.  This was the only bow I hunted with during this time period.  My bow was damaged during a move, a gouge through the glass left to right on the back of the limb about six inches from the upper tip.  Sadly, I retired it.

The bows we have available today are both works of art, and nearly indistructable.  Our problem is "soooo many toys and soooooo little time to play!"

Collecting forum and find tne vintage set ups for '08 thread there are some cool pics.

I will be hunting with either a 1959 or 1962 Bear Grizzly.  I love those old bows.  Ken

I hunt with a 70's Grizzly, 90's Kodiak and my favorite "go to bow" a 2001 B Handle t/d.

I've got a 1962 Grizzly and a 1962 Cub I plan on doing a little hunting with this year.

I'll spend the bulk of my season with Bowdoc's old 1960 Kodiak 60" 52#, a modified 4 arrow leathertop quiver and bear razorheads.

The bow will perform flawlessly if I do my part.

Mine will see a few days in the woods. To much mojo not to hunt with

[Jmatt1957]

Kodiak mag not sure what year 50#@28, cedar arrows, bear broad head. Best part is I will be hunting on my own property and out of a ground blind.Cant wait till morning. I cant remember when I was this excited about the first day of deer season.

My '65 Zebrawood Grizzly will be going afield w/ me on more than a few hunts, similarly set-up like Trap's with a 4 arrow leathertop quiver and vintage Bear arrows tipped with 1960 Bear Razorheads.

1970s bear kodiak 52@28...once belonged to Sammy Hagar

[Rick Butler]

1970 K-Mag 50#'s and 52 inches. Got this one a couple of weeks ago and in pristine condition!  Brought back a lot of memories of the bows of my youth.  Would be a shame not to hunt with it.

I'll be hunting with my '67 Grizzly that I killed my spikehorn with last year. It's LUCKY!!!!!
