Yes. Most people do not know where a bear’s brain is located in its head. It is much lower than most people think, and much narrower.

If the bear is looking at you, you can shoot it in the eye and miss the brain.

If the bear’s nose is pointing at you, if you shoot between the eyes, you have a 50-50 chance of missing the brain.

So finish your thought, please.

Assuming you have the time to aim and fire with precision, where should you shoot a bear in the head?

“If the bear is looking at you, you can shoot it in the eye and miss the brain.”

True, but you’ve given his uninjured brain something else to worry about besides eating you, in addition to making it [insert math here]% more difficult for him to see you.
