[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 995648, member: 68226"] I have dual residency's in Idaho and Alaska. I hunt bear in both states yearly.In my years I have 28 bears total with none going 2 feet with a shoulder shot. BUT in order to do a shoulder shot on a bear you have to have a deep penetrating bullet, I use a 45-70 freebored with a 400gr Barnes original loaded to 2100fps. My 338-378 Weatherby uses a 285 gr Barnes or the new 280 loaded to 3100 it knocks the lights out quicker than anything. I have used my trusty 7mm Rem years ago with a 175 Partition loaded on H4831 for 2975 fps and put them behind the shoulder and have never lost one but never have had one drop in its tracks, They go 15 to 20 yds and pile up. Most of these are7 foot give or take Alaskan Grizz with a few Blacks in the bag. Idaho Black Bear we typically use a,,,,believe it or not,,44 mag lever or pistol with cast lead 300 gr bullet. Tree then with a dog and the shots are 30 feet. Drops them dead. Watch them when they drop. They drop on the dogs!:) [/QUOTE]
