How many yards away?

[klickitat]

What is everyone's average distance in yards for their bear kills?

[Woodchuck]

my last ranged at 227yds

[saylean]

50 yards or under for the most part.

[NRA4LIFE]

About 50 feet.  Depends on how high they climbed.  (Wisconsin with dogs).

the only bear i'v taken was round about 430 yards. before you jump on me, this bear had an arrow in his face. i would not have taken the shot at that range and risked wounding. just thought i owed it to the bear to try and put it outa its missery. all came out well in the end. if your missing a carbon storm with g5 montec on it and you shot it at a bears face last year 30aug near elbow cullie in twisp. i have your arrow.

I've killed 8 bears, the farthest one has been 15 yards.  The closest has been about 7 yards.

Majority have been within 30 yards (5 black bears), using 300 Wthrby Mag, factory 180gr/Nosler Partition.

On Vancouver Island last year it was 80 yards, 340 Wthrby, factory 210gr/Nosler Partition.

[Machias]

Nice bear littlemac!

[littlemac]

Thanks guys, he was a fighter with the head wound that had healed and slightly rubbed on his hind quarter, but a good representative bear at 6'6".

[BLUEBULLS]

[seaduckhunter]

Shot all 4 of my bears 75yds and under.

About 50 yards.  Longest was 100 yards and shortest about 35 yards.

Machias - did you shoot those out of a tree stand?  That's pretty cool...

[Curly]

Cool pic Littlemac.

I only have killed one and it was about 30 yards away. My father killed a big, big boar at about 35 yards away. One was  killed with a rifle
and one with a 44 mag pistol.
