[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 820539, member: 47325"] The leason I learned from that was. that bear was dead but it didn't know it yet, but it had the potential to turn bad right now, solution is bust the shoulders and spine and leave no doubt. I about ruined my underwear, the bear dropped like a sack of potatoes, it was eating apples on the ground when I shot it, had no clue I was even there, so I walk down to it. When I was about 30yrds away it starts getting up blood pouring out of it's mouth, white stuff coming out of one ear (turns out that was brains). Didn't take long to decide it needed another slug. I still don't know how the 1st shot didn't kill it DRT. Bears just like anything else are easy to kill, it's the ones that die hard, and have the ability to hurt you as quickly as a bear can is what changed my thinking on the subject. My thought on it is, take away it's ability to do anything at all by breaking it's skeletal structure and cut off the CNS. [/QUOTE]
