Guys thank you.Just trying to convey perspectives from a newbie bearhunter.Screwing up is part of the learning process sometimes.
I mean it when I say the first shot went precisely where I intended;it was simply not the right "spot".It would have been on an elk, or a moose,but bears are built slightly "differently".I learned that day,that it is vital to place shots on potentially dangerous animals very precisely.And "enough gun" is very reassuring.
