[QUOTE="thomasbangs, post: 2768976, member: 49922"] In my opinion a bear, is a bear, is a bear. I don't believe a 250 - 300 lb bear is any harder to kill no matter what part of the country you are hunting. With that being said hunting conditions vary depending on what state you hunt in. A bear feeding on huckleberry's on a spot and stalk should be able to present a opportunity for a well placed vital shot. A treed bear or a bear shot over bait should also present a angle or position for a vital shot although sometimes a bear in a tree can be tricky. Shot placement is the key. Where the above mentioned methods of bear hunting is not allowed shot placement could be an issue. For instance in Pa. hunters put on drives same as deer drives, vital one shot kills on a running bear in the mountains is extremely difficult. A running bear same as a running Whitetail buck can be hard to bring down without multiple hits especially if the first (or second) was not a lethal hit. [/QUOTE]
