38 is too light for bear you would have a high risk of inadequate penetration through their thick hair, hide and fat. Most hunters use 55+. Perhaps you can find a bow with 80% let off enabling you to pull 55 or 60. Or just use a gun until you can shoot an adequate bow.
If you call the bear with predator call to the gun it will be exciting perhaps even more so than sitting in a tree waiting for the bear to come and eat on the bait pile.
