Just from my experience if you wounded him most likely he will find a cool damp place to lay down ... a bear will always lay in a damp kinda muddy area to try a heal himself.....and if he is not hit solid he will end up getting away ..at least hit in the shoulder you will brake bone and if for some reason he does not hit the dirt on the spot you will catch up to him for a second shot ...most bear I have hit in the shoulder will chase there tail in circles and tip over ... :tup: :twocents:
-
Good luck man. Take it slow, be safe and dont lose heart. Give it your all.
-
Find that bear! Good luck!
-
Good luck!!
-
Got him :tup: better pics later.
-
Cool deal, glad he found him!!
-
Great job man! Way to stick with it.
-
Nicely done. Will you have an spoilage with a bear down that long? Hope not but if so...sounds like you guys did all you could. Nice recovery.
-
well done! much respect for putting in the effort and being responsible! CONGRATS!!!
:tup: :tup: :tup:

No spoilage but it really took some work to get him out

And for Bowhunter45 the first shot was through both shoulders and I have no idea how he managed to make it three hundred yards with busted shoulders and a bad liver.
-
adrenaline & the fact that he is a bear probably helped the most.
-
Seriously .... :chuckle: :chuckle: never heard such a thing .. was it a 22 :chuckle: no GLAD YA FOUND HIM BUD !! :tup: :tung: maybe I just use the right bullets...Hornaday of course :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
7mm nosler accubonds 140 grain surprised me as well especially once we opened him up. He made it so far I'm guessing because the hill he went down was so steep. It was a hands and knees show coming up if that says anything

Sst right?
No ... Inter lock.... I shoot SST out of my 25-06
-
Glad you got him! Can't believe he went 300 yards with both shoulders blown out!

through both shoulders and hit liver? Ill have to look at the vitals and see where the liver is. I thought it was futher back.
-
congrats on sticking with it and recovering that bear!
-

Two shots the liver is a bit further back

Good to here u found it. Sounds like the bullet did it's job well, I shot a boar with my .338win right in the heart and it ran like nothing happened, I hit it a second time center if the chest and ended it. Bears are tough and I think a lot of people get lucky to drop them in there tracks.
