both bears I've shot have been head shots...right in the side of the head...nice big whole out the other side....dropped and never moved again....about an inch or two below the ear did it both times....they don't tend to go far whenyou blow their brains out...last one was a 225yrd shot...one shot...one kill. :chuckle: :IBCOOL:

In 98' I was 16 and shot my 2nd bear. Wasn't the greatest shot placement (back shot) as he was about 220+ yards off. Head over heels he came down that hill towards us into the deep cover, heard some heavy wheezing and brush crashing as we figured he was on his way out. I took my friends advice to go up the hill and follow the blood trail down instead of going to where we heard him ... 2 days later after 3 of us had been up there with machettes making trails and trying to recover him we found him, torn apart with only the hide left. To this day he is the only animal I've put down that I wasn't able to recover and harvest. YUK
