He was deer hunting, what idiot goes bear hunting with a bow?
Actually, I met a guy on a recent camping trip that was doing just that. For the record though, something was a little off with that guy. Anyway, unless you're into the Japanese art of Kyudo, I don't think people should be hunting anything with a bow. All I've ever seen is mall ninjas mistaking themselves for skilled archers. If yer gonna kill an animal, be humane, use a rifle with the appropriately sized cartridge. And be a frikin' decent shot.
