[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 217347, member: 1403"] LOL dont remind me...I missed 3 bears that week, the closest being 225 and the farthest 375. Probly my worst week of shooting ever. Not sure what the angles were, but I know they couldn't have been more then a 40 or 45. Was shooting my 7mag/175g Wildcats zeroed at 200 yards. I was hitting what seemed like a foot over every time on every bear at every distance. The first bear was 350-375 and not to steep so I didn't account for much. He was broadside and I shot about 1 foot over his back, crosshairs were on his shoulder. The last bear I missed was 225 yards, probly 45 degree angle or so. He was facing me and I had the crosshairs right on his briskett, figuring if I shoot high I"ll get him in the neck/head area. At the shot, he whirled around and ran like a bad out of heck into the brush. Musta shot over his head cuz I didn't find the bear or blood. I did all the calculations and got like at most 6" of difference, not enough to miss all these bears anyways at somewhat close range...To say I was a little mad would be a total understatment...
