Congrats on the bear and a great write up. Just curious you stated you aimed higher since the shot was downhill. That’s opposite of what you should do though.
I wanted to make sure I got the spine and the lungs. So I held slightly high. Had a I held low I would not have got the spine and he wouldn't have dropped straight down. I had no desire to have to track him and knew I would lose sight of where he was while walking over.
Makes perfect sense. Congrats again on a nice bear.
Yes, you had me going on that one also until you described the bullet track. I have killed blacks for meat, never for the hide.
If I ever get a chance at an auburn one, tho.....
That bear is as fine as the writeup, or vise versa. Thanks!
