[QUOTE="Mosster47, post: 933542, member: 78790"] Bears have a very similar bone/muscle structure to humans, so a deer isn't the best example. I've killed three black bears in Oregon and was standing next to my dad who shot another. 1st was one over 250lbs. A 25-06 with a 120gr Speer Boat tail right behind the front leg pretty much dropped it dead in its tracks. 2nd was around 200lbs. 300 Win Mag with a 180gr Speer Grand in the middle of the spine at an uphill angle. After it stopped rolling back down the hill towards me I finished it off. 3rd was around 300lbs. A 308 with a 165gr Hornady Interlock in the head did the job. Surprising, huh? lol. 4th was around a 100lb yearling. My dad hit it with a 338 Win Mag pushing a 210gr Nosler Partition through both shoulders. It got up and starting running on them like it wasn't even hit and he hit it again quartering away in the ribs and it thrashed around for a few minutes until it expired. Bears are a weird and tough animal to bring down. They are by far the toughest thing I have ever hunted. The odds of a black bear coming after you are about as good as Ron Artest coming after you at a basketball game. Sure, it can happen, but the odds are slim lol. [/QUOTE]
