True, but theres some 600 pound bears here too... and those ones might be at 500 by now
although the chances of running into one of those
is
pretty small.... On the other hand, I tend to have bad luck.

Build a bow and bag the bear
I talked to a guy in Northern Ontario in the 80's that bought two hickory replacement handles for implements and spliced together to make a fine bow. Go to the lumber yard and try an oak board etc.Good luck on your journey

One strategy would be to get a board or two on Ebay of wood that is good bow wood (hickory, ash, hard maple, elm, white oak) and do a fabric backed bow. Silk.

Hmm, that might be a good idea. So, just type say, hickory board or red oak board in Ebay and it should comme up. hopefully I'll get something useable.
