[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 154600, member: 1403"] Yah, I'd just like to say these aren't my first bear encounters or experiences with black bears. I've shot 4 of them before this year. I"m just having a run of really bad luck! I'll admit though, on the others, they weren't downhill 45-60 degrees, they were all straight across from me, makes it a lot easier... I agree when you know a bears hit, anything for that matter. I know when I hit something, 99% of the time I can hear the resounding "whop" when it gets there. I heard none of these "whops" on any of these bears...I also agree that they do go crashing and making a lot of ruckus after they've been hit. I've only had 1 bear growl and bawl after he was shot though, and that was my big one thats on the wall, I shot him with the 300 RUM, glad I had the RUM for him and not the 25-06, ha ha.
