Just out of curiosity, how many of yall have killed a bear that was previously shot? My bear I shot in 21 had been previously shot in the head and the front paw. Favorite animal to hunt as they are hard to kill!

probably very hard for him to swallow, what did his tongue look like?
His tongue appeared normal, but I also didn't pay that much attention to it lol.

I haven't seen anything like that.
@CaNINE shot a monster a few years back.
The skull had a really interesting wound as well.
I believe he posted pics here.

Killed another one with a bad scar that appeared to be a broadhead in a non-lethal area.

Or a little to aggressive! :yike: :chuckle:
Ya. It's not all that uncommon for domestic bulls to get a broken wiener. One of the reasons most cows are bred artificially now.

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
That's crazy stuff!

Not gonna like, though - I have to wonder if that hole's from the canine of another bear. You mentioned shot in the hand too?

I shot a buck once a little too far forward and never got him…
About a week later, out of the same tree, one of the guys from camp shot him and killed him…

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 :bash:

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. :dunno:I figured mine was from a bite as well and not a gun shot.
