[QUOTE="Tony 0321, post: 285929, member: 16800"] The shot placement for me has always been to shoot in the shoulder you will hit the vitals and you will break the bear down or atleast slow it down and that is the advice that I give to my clients here in Alaska.. Also as I am sure that AKBUSHAPE will agree that I will always if at all possible follow up with another shot even if the bear is down this ensures that it stays down and a second hole in the hide is an easy fix for a taxidermist I do not like to follow a wounded bear into the bushes because they almost always go to the thickest stuff around and if it is wounded and comes at you you have very little time in that situation . Even a well hit bear can live a long time.. I dont mind loosing meat on a shoulder shot but for me it has been the most effective all around shot and unlike a caribou or deer a wounded bear will love to kill you back [/QUOTE]
