Cape Yakataga, Alaska Bear
"Morning GrizzlyStik, I finally got my brown bear in Cape Yakataga, Alaska with the GrizzlyStik Momentum 175's and Ashby broadheads. My total arrow and broadhead weighed was 950 grains with 26% FOC.
The weather was very mild and the streams where full of spawning silver salmon. The bears seemed to be more interested in berries and for over a week we didn’t spot any bears on the streams. My guide Craig Hill was surprised at the lack of bears feeding on fish.
On the 8th day I got my chance. We spotted this boar “cruising” and got set up on the trail he was coming down. On a string, he walked right past us a 10 yards. I waited till the boar was slightly past me with his front leg forward and I let the arrow go. The arrow made contact directly behind the armpit and disappeared. As the bear spun, he came within 4 yards of us before he took off running away from us. He only traveled 40 yards and was down within a minute.
Upon inspection, the arrow passed thru the body cutting the top of the heart off and continued out the off side front shoulder, breaking it. I’m positive without a lighted nock, I would have never recovered the arrow. Thank you for a great product and all your advice." Corey Goss
