[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1413109, member: 12443"] We hunt them long range in PA from the same locations we hunt deer from. We do choose to hunt the closer locations for bear however. One problem with bear is they don't hang around like a deer does after being shot at. So if your lucky enough to see one figure on just one good shot. I have been lucky enough to kill one at 700 with a 7x300 wby using a 162 gr Hornady match bullet. First shot put him down but he got right back up, but he couldn't go up hill, and soon stopped again giving me another good shot which finished him. But if they aren't hit well right off, they will go a long way and chances are you wont get him. I would be keeping the distance as close as possible, and its best having somebody backing you up just in case things don't go well. [/QUOTE]
