brown bear season closed, time to try for a blackie.

The trooper is just fishing,,,,doesn't know what the he## he is talking about.  There isn't anything dictating the weight of the broadhead,,,,,total weight of the arrow is the only criteria that has any weight restrictions.  300 grains. Maybe that is what the trooper meant when he asked for the weight.

What was Brians bow and arrow set up?

[jrchambers]

im not sure on the shaft but I think gold tips.  I also think its a zwickey.  the bob lee is 65lbs at 28 he draws 27

[awbowman]

Plenty total arrow weight

[Bill Sant]

He is fine and was good to go.  Sounds like a little misunderstanding.  If he's using goldtips with a zwickey he's gonna be at least 485 to 500 gr.  No sweat there.

And he is fine for minimum poundage for grizz (50#)

[jrchambers]

that's the point the guy asked for head weight not arrow weight.  he also looked at the marks on the bow and said what only 28 lbs.  the guy is just lost.  the tried to convince Brian that only birds had been eating on it when half of the pelvis gone

This is an amazing thread and by the responses everyone was on the edge of the seat.  Kudos to the author on that one.  
As for the bears, absolutely amazing.  Congrats on a trophy of a lifetime.

as far as the eating goes, it didn't make very good steaks,  im thinking sausage and pep sticks for the next few years.

Nothin' like sausage and pepper sticks to hide a chewy old grizzly.  Great job!
