He tells the hunters not to aim for the shoulder and go for a lung shot because the bear is huge.  The hunter ignores him and aims for the shoulder with his muzzleloader.  Drops it in its tracks.   :chuckle:

i aint trying to ruffle any feathers here but, to me the fail safe shot is the slight quarter away about 4 ribs back through the boiler room and explode the opposite shoulder from the inside, i learned it from my dad who has never used more than one bullet per critter and he is 60, and since i took his advise when i was 16 or so, when i could controll my adrenaline a little better i to have not had to hit an animal more than once, that includes bear , elk and deer but of course that is just my  :twocents: worth...
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

 :)I shoot alittle lower than bowhunter shows but about the same, IF I ever see on  broadside!! :chuckle:
I shoot my 7'2"  bear twisted towards me, head to the right but twisted around looking at me, almost turned clear to me, I did not want to hurt the skull so I draw a line thru the bear which is where I think the bullet will travel if not deflected. That bullet went into the right side of his head in the neck, broke the neck thru the lungs and we found it in the rear left foot. almost full length travel thru center mass and a broken spine, 300 WM, 180 grain Winchester Black Talon. About 100 yards down hill from me. Good Penetration.

yeah thats what I am talking about  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: Besides I never said shooting threw the lungs will not kill them but I do not chasing them ...especially where I HUNT ...open country no problem but brush I would rather shoot twice rather than chase them  :twocents:  In a couple weeks I go kill one  :chuckle: Shoulder shot and I will be sure to have video rollin  :chuckle:
