Sounds like a difficult angle,and tough shot especially where you catch one lung and you can expect them to travel a bit after a hit like that. I have used mostly Partitions and Bitterroots on mine....no problems.

You can't fool a bear's nose.... smile

How do you like the Adirondack?


Humans are rare in that the lungs are each in their own sac, while most other critters have both lungs in one sac. A single lung being collapsed gets both very quickly...


Except for deer. Apparently they never received that memo. Some have been killed with one lung that was taken out the previous hunting year


Elk too
