[QUOTE="troupe, post: 1511948, member: 42169"] I have had the chance to take one bear here in Eastern NC, home to some of the largest black bears in the US. Mine was shot at maybe 40 yards with a 7 STW. No long distance for sure. He weighed in at a even 500lbs. on the state scale. A few years ago, I had one come out just before legal shooting time was over. He ranged at 543 yds. I just did not feel comfortable enough to take the shot, and I have witnessed and tracked a wounded bear in NC that was shot by someone else. That bear was lost and it did take a hard hit with a 338 at approx. 276 yds. When that bear was hit, he went down and back up before the shooter could rack the action for the second shot. I hope to get the chance someday to shoot another bear. [/QUOTE]
