Some side some quartering towards me. Some head shots. I kinda like that quartering towards me shot gives you a good chance on not only takeing the heart and lungs out but of breaking the spine or shoulder.
On charging bears Head shots work well if you can make them. Breaking them down with spine and shoulder shots also work. More then one hunter has been save from a severe mauling by breaking the jaw.
The trouble is most people panic when they see the bear coming and just start shooting with out taking the extra split second to make sure they are hitting. Much better to get one good soild hit in then Have four or five misses.
For you going out in harms way practice practice practice.
Thanks. I've asked that question elsewhere and yours is the best reply I've seen. Usually don't get a reply and that's probably because the guys I asked were talking through their hats in the first place.
I doubt that I'll ever face the situation of a charging grizzly but I have wondered what I could realistically do in that situation.
