He said shot it in the shoulder! Why do you do that?
I replied I do not like trailing wounded game.

The bullet actually hit the right shoulder and exited behind the left shoulder. Mattered not - broken shoulder really slows them down and is usually fatal PDQ.

Yup looks like a gawd awful place to track game.

Tracking may not be an issue but no need to drag farther than you have to.

About 5# actual good meat max lost on a shoulder shot.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
