bear hunting kodiak
How did Fred Bear hunt Kodiak bears, and polar bear with a bow? ?
I never read about him having a dude with a rifle near him.
Yes, Fred Bear used guides, and those guides often had a rifle with them — but the rifles were used purely as “backup”, in case the bears attacked or were otherwise a direct danger to life and limb. Fred Bear rarely had to use that backup, and never liked to use it, but he was not an idiot — he took as many precautions as possible. Only a complete idiot would forgo having someone with a good long gun available when only 30 yards away from a teed-off bruin. And a teed-off Kodiak (or Polar Bear) can cover those 30 yards in less than five seconds.
As for how he hunted Kodiaks and Polar Bears with a bow… It’s about the same as hunting moose, caribou or elk with a bow. There’s a lot of tracking and spot-and-stalk that has to be done.
