A through and through of the lungs will cause a bilateral pneumothrorax. That bear CAN NOT run far. It is a physical impossibility. Now, if the bear is shot and does run a long way, the shot couldn't have been as good as the shooter believed...Anyway...Back to hibernation.
Thanks nice post, I think that both ways work pretty good but for a bear I would prefer a shoulder shot,when you go for a shoulder you are not just brake that bone most likely you are going to brake a spine as wellthat's probably why they died instantly, i add few picks witch show what I'm toking about.
What happened to head shots ?
This one was shot from top right shoulder (between shoulder blade and spinal column) to bottom left shoulder. Took out some of both lungs and just plan paralyzed him, shot off course with a .300 winmag. He was below me angling up hill and away from me, didn't know what hit him.
The high shoulder seems to work pretty well especially with smaller calibers. The beyond belief movies show grizzlies shot with 6.5x284 140 grain bullets and they drop on the spot at over 500 yards. Elk and deer the sam.e at farther distance with. Same results. It seems like its bear to bear really with some guys swearing by one shot placement and others swearing on another. I say do what you are comfortable shooting for
