I am bring my Excalibur Matrix G340 crossbow with Rage 125 X-treme broadheads and my 700 Remington stainless 270 WSM with 140G Trophy Bonded Tips, Vortex Diamond Back 3x9 scope. I am leaning toward the crossbow as my first choice this year only because I have taken two bear with my rifle. If I am successful with the X-bow, next year will be my  shotgun with a slug.

Thanks for asking

Good luck to you!  Is this a self guided hunt, or are you using an outfitter?

From other years I think it's just a group of friends that goes up to hunt.

Those are the best hunts.  Hopefully Canada will be open by next year, I'd like to visit for a bear hunt too. :)

I just got home and am happy to report that we harvested 4 bears. I was lucky enough to take one with my crossbow!

We took 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. We stopped hunting Sunday as a conservation plan for the property and cleaning trials the rest of the trip preparing for the upcoming whitetail hunt in November. One of our younger members took his first bear so that was cool.

I will post pictures tomorrow.
Thanks again for your interest
