[QUOTE="Akbushape, post: 286005, member: 14672"] Absolutely Tony. Never take the time to see if he's down for the count after the first shot. Seconds count. As soon as you pull the trigger, chamber another round and get the crosshairs on him. Unless by this time he is stone dead, hit him again through the shoulders. Don't pause at that point. Reload and get the sights on him again. By this time you have observed him long enough to make a judgement call on whether another round is needed. Even if he appears to be nailed down, keep a bead on him and watch a bit. If he starts to get up, repeat the process. Never stop or pause to see what happens. You may be standing there with an empty chamber and your gun down when he jumps up and runs off. That rule goes with any animal, not just bears. After the first shot, reload and get the scope back on target. Don't just set there with an empty gun. Be ready for a follow-up. Rarely does a bear drop in it's tracks and stay there unless it's a brain (or broken neck) shot. [/QUOTE]
