We saw over 40 different bears and our best day was 14 bears in one day.

Nice bear.  I figured you either had to put another one or more in him 'cuz' the surroundings changing alot from the first hit to where he finally died.

Great weather, good huntin' partner doin' his job and a fine bear.

30 grains of bullet weight change that?

Probably wouldn't change a whole lot, but it's a good excuse to try new bullets. 99% of it is perfect shot placement but bears are super tough critters. Here's a picture of a collared wolf that we took yesterday.

I am curious as well on the change in bullets. Where did the 185's hit and what happened with performance?
