Trade you some reloading tips for some bear hunting tips 
Actually I spend a lot of time reading on your bear hunting board.I came to find out last year that bear hunting and deer hunting are two totally different things.

That's a great bear BEA!
Oh one of these days I'll have one too!
Been in bear country several times after whitetail with a bear tag included in case one should happen to stumble into my range but no in-field sightings as of yet.

Nice bears guys. I've only seen two bears and they were over 100 yards away. But I sure see a lot of scat when I'm in the woods. Makes me keep my eyes open.

I have taken 11 bears in Nova Scotia. 1 bear in Newfoundland and 1 bear in New Brunswick.
Not that it matters but all have been with archery gear.
Two have been with traditional bows/wooden arrows and the rest have been with compound/aluminum arrows. All of the compound bears were taken with xx75's tipped with Thunderhead 125s.

Thanks, our deer herd has taken a beating over the last few years due mainly to really bad winters - but our bears are thriving Attachment: donny&roger.JPG (Downloaded 15 times)
