    Bear spears?

    So, I’ve taken brown bears with a rifle, pistol, and bow. I guess spear is the logical next choice. Anyone here have any spear experience with any hunting? This is a new endeavor and I’m researching it but there’s a lack of good info I can find on quality spears, makes or models out there?

Having dealt with the financial aspect of a hunt from the guides side I would agree with those that say take it all up front and YOU be the one to give money back if they don’t tag. Otherwise you’re gonna get screwed...
