[QUOTE="teddy12b, post: 281762, member: 9873"] I don't want to hyjack the post, but I'l fill in the rest of what happened with my bear. There was no blood to be found where the shot was fired. When the bear went down he kicked around for a few seconds and when he got up and started quickly moving around a tree I worked the lever and as he came around the tree I fired again. I thought for sure that my first shot was good if not perfect, and the second shot was only meant to anchor the bear if not slow him down. The second shot was a high shoulder and we tracked that bear for almost three hours in the middle of the night in the ontario bush. We covered about a mile until the blood trail started to fade away and eventually the blood trail disapeared. The three guides all agreed that the shot wasn't where it should have been and the bear just walked it off. It's heart breaking, and I still believe in the 30-30's abilities, but now I also have a 1895G 45/70 that I plan on using next time I get a chance to go after the bears. [/QUOTE]
