Shot placement seems for many around here to be tougher on bear than any other animal. I believe personally that is because bear are frequently shot in dim light conditions, treed and offering a strange presentation to the hunter or shot fast on the ground where the animal is moving fast and/or fighting dogs. That plus the folds and shadows of a black coat make for confusing angles of shot and many first-time or inexperienced hunters simply do not know where to put the bullet. Lots of guys blow it.

Agreed--it seems like many shoot too high..at least what I have seen...hit the "hollow" spot and your in for a long day...
