Who hunts with old Bears?

[elbow]

Wondering how many here hunt with old Bear recurves as their main go to bow? Pics?

I remember a year that a '71 Grizzly was my only hunting bow. Now I hunt with whatever is my latest love. I did hunt one year (2007) with a '65 Kodiak Magnum. Special bow, un-marred and with the box when I got it. I thought it needed some woods-time, after waiting all those years.

[Bouncer]

I hunted the 09 season with a 1978 grizzly,and I have a 1970 Super Mag that I stump with.I really enjoy both.

Many years ago, I hunted with a '63 Bear Kodiak Dogleg. Nowadays it only goes on a hunt occasionally, just for old time's sake. Back then I thought it was  "cool" to hunt with a nostalgic bow from yesteryear... doesn't seem to have that luster anymore though.

I hunted last year with a 1970's circa green Kodiak Hunter 55#   this year i liked my 1970 Kodiak Hunter better...i Have a twin coming as we speak except it is a 55#'r  i'll try to post a pick of a couple of mine, you can see the green one and the one with the quiver is this years hunter.

My main hunting bow this past year was a '67 Shakespeare Necedah. I also have a '61 Polar that I hunt with on occasion.

I do some bowfishing and bunny hunting with a '70 Grizzly.At 56" it's good in the brush.

I have an old Black Bear with the ugly turquoise lams. I camo painted it with a rattle can. It was my go-to until I got my Kanatis. Now it's my bowfishing rig. Even though it is NOT pretty, it's a shooter.

50# 1970 something Kodiak Mag. Kill a 9 point out of a ground blind.Cedar arrow bear broadhead.

[cacciatore]

I plan to hunt more with my vintage Bear bows they are really good shooter and very quiet.

[cacciatore]

Those Kodiak Magnum are great shooter and most of the times overlooked bows.Your 65 is maybe the best looking KMag.

[boznarras]

I have a KMag I got used, don't know the year. It has gray/green glass with white laminations showing thru at the grip, and a bushing on the front below the grip. It is lightweight, easy to carry and fun to shoot.
How can I find out its date of birth? Is there an index?

My 71 Kodiak is my favorite bow..I am going to try again this spring to take a bear with it..



My 70 something Grizzly is a great shooter and I killed my buck with it this year..I have custom bows ,fastflight stings and all,but prefer to walk the woods with my old Bears...
