      I did a little arrow experiment the other day. Mainly testing the nocks but everything worked. Of course it will be colder where I am going!

        I have done two brown bear hunts. The first one I was 15 yards from a great bear and at full draw. Never released the arrow. And I was within 50 yards of several others with no shot. On my second I had smaller bears in bow range and even a good one under 10 yards with no shot. I started to feel pressure and killed one with a gun. Still regret that decision as I had 2-3 days left to hunt.

The dogs occupy the bear while you sneak in for the shot. Most of it is super flat frozen ocean. I think there are places with ice mounds and terrain where a stalk might be possible. I have heard a fair number are shot coming in to camp. I imagine that is a sh$& show in the middle of the night!!!!!

            Holy crap. That is going to be wild.

                    Excited for you and looking forward to the recap of this adventure

                    Do you have enough clothes to stay warm?
                    Can you shoot your bow with all of them on?
                    You have any plans to write a book about your hunting adventures?

                    You are definitely going to be in places few humans have ever set foot in

                        Living the dream. I have always had an interest in bear hunting, especially a polar bear. I will be going on my first black bear hunt in a couple of weeks. Hope you have a great hunt and look forward to your recap.

I get there in the early evening and spend the night. The next day I fly to resolute bay and spend the night. The next day on to Grise fiord and I believe it is immediately out on the ice! I am hunting with the Inuits and the outfitter is Ameri-Kana. Accommodations during the hunt are wall tent or plywood cabin. That replica is +/- $15,000.
                              Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share your adventure!
