Nope, just had it happen last week. Shot my bear at 365, it dropped and rolled down into a blowdown. After a minute or two it let out the notorious moan then silence. Took about 15 minutes to get over to it and when I did to my surprise it picked its head up. One more shot and it was over. Don’t tell me my business

Difference between a moan and a "death moan" is the bear doesn't die after a moan only after a "death moan."

Genius....
I was only letting the original poster know of my experience. Oh and I have been on more bear kills than 99% of the people on this forum so I’m speaking from first hand experiences. Take it or leave it I don’t care

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. Couldn't find him, but at least I know I did my due diligence and looked. I might get back up there this weekend and try to find another one.

I did end up finding some Morel mushrooms, and a sow with cubs about half a mile from where I shot the bear.

Probably shouldn't have given them the horn at the end, but I wanted to make sure they were going away from where I was to be searching.

Please shoot another one.

I like bears within reason.  When fawn and calf recruitment rates are in the crapper, and i get more bears than deer on my trail cams, something needs to be done.  In had 1 week to hunt for a buck i was after in early september in 2017, then left the state until november (this buck always disappears mid september.)  In that one week in stand i saw 3 deer.  All does, zero fawns.  But i saw 10 bears.  That ratio is a bit skewed.  I have some cameras up that get bears walking by nearly every single day in july and august.  So many damn bears.  I want their numbers reduced, but i dont hate them.  With a few exceptions of course.  A bear has come into my back yard twice this month to rip up my 3d targets that are 20 yards from my house.  I hate that bear.  Another ripped down the fencing around 6 of my young chestnut trees, stomped the fencing flat, then the deer ate the trees.  I also hate that bear.  Oh, and i hate every bear that flips my trail cams over and screws up a 9 month soak.
