Hi Guys. I've got an invite to hunt a farm in my area that has had some issues with bears. We have a lot of bear in the area and they are huge for black bear. 500 and 600 pounders are taken every season with some even bigger than that taken in this area.
I shoot a .54 roundball with 90 grains FFF. As I understand it, the vitals on a bear are a little higher than midway up. Is that true?
I'll be either stalking or stand hunting and I don't plan on shooting past 50 yards.
It seems like the ideal shot would be quartering away and broadside would be second. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.
