[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 2700, member: 25"] Tim, I have no idea how many bears I have killed, in another life I did that for the gov't a lot. Keep it simple. Use a stout bullet - any of the premiums are preferred in case things go south and you have to give him a rectal-rocket. Break the scapula - that is the shoulder. Breaking the scapula usually breaks his spine and he loses his back legs, can't do much that way. Then give him a second shot into the lungs or heart, but get him on the ground first. Break one or both shoulders and you won't have to track him. Take the nervous system and you have control. The scapula is high and forward on a bear. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
