## Caption

Many hunters treat a bear like a whitetail deer when it comes time to shoot, but if you aim for the shoulders, you stand a good chance of wounding and losing it.

If you’re ever seeking advice on bear hunting you’re likely to hear one of two common, and conflicting, schools of thought. One of these is to aim for a bear’s shoulders to break them down and avoid a lengthy or even dangerous tracking job. I’m not sure how this bogus theory on shot placement has lingered as long as it has — probably because it does work sometimes — but it’s some of the worst shot placement counseling you could possibly receive. And it has everything to do with a bear’s anatomy.
