probably very hard for him to swallow, what did his tongue look like?
Or a little to aggressive!
My first P&Y animal was a big Bear I shot with a Recurve. When I gutted him I found the back 8" of an aluminum arrow from the year or 2 before. It was a high shot above the lungs and had broke a rib, nicked the spine and nicked the rib on the far side and completely healed up and you would never have known by looking at him. Healthy as could be. Like said previously, tough mothers
Idk about shot but I think this one was kicked

My guess is those are K9 fighting wounds from locking up with other bears rather than gunshots but hard to be certain unless you found bullet fragments. Neat either way and very resilient animals for sure (like most things in the wild).I recall hitting a broadhead with the bandsaw in front quarter of an elk one year. Have also found modern and muzzy bullet frags butchering them over the years too.... Seems like those things only happen right after switching to fresh blades
