Sitka thanks for the response, I slightly disagree with
the 338 being to much gun. I have shot 3 other bears with
the same gun, 2 were a "1 and done"(with a different bullet)
The 3rd was with insurance rounds to keep the bear away from the
hounds. I also put this one on paper as good as the others.
I obviously pulled the shot, more so on excitement than
recoil. It was the second bear to come to the bait plus it
was the first day so that may be contributors.
Thanks again for the response.
