[QUOTE="badandy970, post: 854576, member: 52684"] I love these thread and was like others refraining but I have lost my self control lol. I am gonna chime in now. Granted both these situations at on brown bears not moose. So the first bear I killed was with a 30.06 and a 168 Amax. One shot at 10 yards full on charge by a 8'11" bear. Shot was mid chest like I said running straight at me. Had just enough time to get my gun up and fire once it was dead before it stopped sliding ending up right at my feet. Haha needless to say I needed clean drawers. Second bear I was out with a buddy on another bear hunt. We saw two bears working down a beach about a mile or so out. Got the boat around the bend from them down wind and made our stock to try and beat them to a rocky point. As we were making our way to the beach I told my buddy when we get up there we have to kill this bear on the beach if he gets up in the trees we at screwed, (super thick and bears everywhere). So he says well if I shoot and it runs you shoot too. Well we get to the point wind is in our face bears 30 yards away. He nods he wants to take it and he shoots it blows out and starts running I shoot twice and he shoots again. So four shots all on the shoulder with 338's. I was shooting reloads in both situations 168 Amax in one and 250 game kings in the second he was shooting factory loads with a Barnes bullet I believe. His bear was much smaller and took 4 we'll placed shots. So I guess its kind of a crap shoot, sometimes things don't work out the way you think they will. [/QUOTE]
