How to Hunting Bear with a Crossbow?

Introduction Hunting Bear with a Crossbow

The black bear is the most common. Even though less important than the brown one, still it can evaluate up to two meters long for a weight that can exceed 200 kilograms. Suffice to say that the animal can be very impressive and dangerous when it stands on two legs and begins to charge. This article will explains about how to Hunting Bear with a Crossbow that can be used as the guideline when hunting bear at the jungle.

This distinguished hunter, there are eight elements to consider when using such a device to try to harvest a deer, a moose, a caribou or a bear.

To succeed in a deadly attack, the hunter must ideally be within 30 m of the target game. When the gap is larger, the boom loses a lot of power and the energy released on impact decreases considerably. Shooting also becomes more hazardous and the chances of injuring the coveted game increase. 

Items to bear in mind when Hunting Bear with a Crossbow

• All the necessary equipment for your hunting weapon, ammunition, arrows, hunting blades, etc
• Sleeping bag, pillow, sheet and blanket
• Towel, washcloth, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc
• Thermacell and spare cartridge, fly oil
• Personal medication and list of medications to take
• Anti-fly jacket and hood
• Raincoat
• Surgical gloves and regular gloves (for flies), bib, backpack
• Duct tape

• First aid kit
• Your alcoholic drinks, snack food
• Camera, flashlight
• hunting and fishing licenses

• Safety jacket for fishing and safety belt for watchtowers

Regarding the crossbow, be aware that the maximum lethal range is about 45 m.

The wind

It is important to practice the activity with good wind, because the amateur is never very far from the target animal. You must position yourself so that the wind does not direct your odors towards the place where game is likely to appear.

The smells

Even taking into account the wind, the armed predator must pay the greatest attention to his body odor and to those emitted by his equipment. Various odorless products exist to help amateurs at this level, such as soap for clothing and body, shampoo, deodorant, etc. There are also odor scents with coniferous fragrances and other species.

On the lookout

The archer is often favored to hunt in height, in a watchtower, because this allows him to limit the spread of odors on the ground and to be more difficult to detect by his prey. He also has the chance to see the game arrive and to prepare accordingly. The height also gives another advantage, that of having a minimum encumbrance of branches which can harm when you uncheck an arrow. You can, if you wish, do some fine moose hunting. However, this is much more difficult for deer and bears.

Movements and noises

When posted on a watchtower, the hunter must be aware that he can be detected by animals if he moves or if he makes the slightest noise. For those who have more difficulty controlling these aspects, Corinne recommends opting for a tent, installed on the ground or on a platform, in a tree.

The practice

It is essential to master your bow perfectly. To get there, the adept must practice shooting in all kinds of conditions and positions. Fervent followers will shoot a few arrows in the week before the season opens, but that is far from enough. To prepare adequately, practice sitting, standing, kneeling, high from your platform, in the rain, in cold weather, etc. In addition, it is relevant, during these sessions, to put on the hunting set that you will wear in the forest. This is the perfect time to check if the coat sleeve, for example, is too thick to let the bowstring pass or to find that you are not comfortable in it. The self-confidence you gain will really make all the difference in maximizing your level of accuracy.

Vital area when Hunting Bear with a Crossbow

The only place to consider when unhooking is the region of the heart, liver or lungs. By staying focused on the vital area and actually visualizing the organs in question, the hunter is less disturbed by the plume of the animal or by its size. In addition, it helps minimize the famous buck fever while ensuring a shot in the right place, but especially at the right time, that is to say when the area is not obstructed by the leg of the animal or by any other disturbing element.

Patience

You have to be careful and control every aspect of your business. This can be difficult work which will not necessarily result in an automatic game harvest each year. So you have to be patient on several levels. And patience is also put to the test, for example, when a young immature deer buck comes within range. The conscientious archer knows that by harvesting this little male he sabotages his chances of being able to collect a trophy in the years that follow.
