Bear hunting

stringstretcher:
What would you consider to be too light of a weight bow to use to hunt bear?  At what weights have you bear hunters used successfully?

Justin Snyder:
I would say #45 should do the trick. A lot of states require 45# for elk. If it is big enough for elk, it is big enough for bear. However, it also depends on what style of bear hunting you are planning. Hounding, spot and stock, baiting, or calling are completely different and the bow needs may vary. For calling, I want the biggest bow I am comfortable and accurate with.  ;)

stringstretcher:
Since we can not bait, my bear hunting will be sitting and waiting, maybe some stalking.
