Congrats Aron! Nice bear

It was a great trip and much fun was had.

I was also able to get more in depth testing done on the Sony A7R and A7II cameras (much lighter than the Nikon D810).

Looks like a great time. Awesome bear and nice pics too.

General bear/archery question, what's your setup for this? Is there a recommended minimum draw/arrow weight, etc for bear hunting? Advisable to pack a firearm just in case? I've never bear hunted before but looks like fun.

Nice recap and great photos! What do you plan to do with him? Rug?

What is that big wheeled thing that Ryan put into the back of the truck?

Nice Bear! Looks like good times...

 

[Aron Snyder]

I would shoot the biggest cutting broahead that you can (big holes are nice in the case of bears).

I've never packed a firearm before, but it doesn't hurt anything either.

I like heavy arrows, but anything above 400 should be fine.
