Special Situation: Large Bears
- Large bears present more of a challenge because of their bulk.
- The bear’s shoulder is farther forward, the shoulder bones form a tighter angle, and its hair is several inches longer than other game’s.
- Long, heavy hair makes a bear appear deeper in the chest than it actually is. As a result, many hunters aim too low or too far forward and hit the large shoulder bone.
- A spot in the center of the lungs or slightly lower should be an archer’s target every time. Therefore, it is best to wait until the near leg of the bear is forward before shooting.
