Well I notched this tag a few weeks ago on Hancock land. Short story is the first clear cut we got to that morning was the right one. Parked the rig, loaded the rifle, walked out to point where we could see, and there she was feeding on blueberries. Touched one off from the 7mm mag, and she went down hill and out of sight quickly. Was a 225 yard shot. Waited an hour and then went looking for it. No blood anywhere, and I started to sweat. I stumbled across some fresh bear scat, and thought hmm might be my bear. Found her about 10 yards away. She went about 50 yards from where she was shot, and we never found a drop of blood. Anyways I cant wait for my second one.

Congrats! I'll bet you were worried when you didn't find blood... Makes a fellow sort of nervous. Been there.

if you happen to bump into another bear and get a crack at him try a high shoulder shot, for me its the most reliable shot cause if you hit them they go right down or you miss completely and you dont have to worry about losing a bear, now obviously you still owe it to the animal to do your best to make sure you didnt hit him, but out of the 8 bears i have killed out of 8 bears i have shot at they never took a step, my son killed his first bear yesterday and it didnt even wiggle, and when i skinned the bear out its spine was severed and it sent bone pieces through part of his lung and some how put a huge slice through the liver, but had the bear run off we wouldnt have seen any blood either and he was real close to some absolute dog hair brush
