[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 995570, member: 4191"] I prefer to shoot them behind both shoulder muscles, when provided directly broadside shots. 1/3 of the way from the bottom toward the back of the bear. I've never targeted the shoulder bone of a bear on broadside shots. Furthest away bear I've shot is ~450 yds. Closest was ~20 feet. My direct experience includes a dozen or so black bear and several brown bear. Observed a few more killed by others. A bigger diameter bullet is better than smaller on the large brown bear, especially after they've been wounded or scared and the adrenaline (the bear's - that is) is pumping. [/QUOTE]
