[QUOTE="akbushman, post: 483209, member: 31999"] When hunting black bear, heart n lung save the meat... Brown/grizzly would place no other shot than front shoulders if givin a choice. A brown/grizzly can take a double lung shot,eat you for lunch, crap you out before falling over dead. A friend was black bear hunting in a stand (Alaska) when a brownie came out. Not wanting to shoot but left with no choice because it was trying to get him and his buddy out of the stand, he took a lung shot and a shoulder shot with a 338 win mag. It left with a fury into the thick brush returning 30 secs later to attempt his hunter tree stand removal again. It was then shot point blank with 12 gauge slug just below the eye, and it headed for the brush again. When returning seconds later it took another hit from the 338 before dieing. After fish n game was called and bear was skinned it was found that the slug from the 12 gauge was stuck just under the skin not penetrating the skull at all. It is very important to get a good front shoulder shot with a big cal. rifle for brow/grizzly bear.gun) [/QUOTE]
