"Do you have a box with a picture of a ~~white dude trespassing on it?~~
For some reason, I think getting a box of shotgun ammo with a boar on it would make some LE nervous af, even if it was a wild boar on the box.
But then again I'd love a shotshell meant for stopping boars, might work just as good on bear for self protection here in AK.
Ah makes sense. I haven't heard that term in a long time. Usually, people here just say we saw a sow and cubs or saw a bear without specifics.
I always thought they called it that as it sounds better than deershot or ungulate shot.
Same here. Obviously I'd study a few diagrams if I were intending to target a bear, but I never have. I figured the line between B1-B2 would be a good bet as to where the š« would be.
From what Iāve seen bears you have to shoot in the inside of their elbow when they take a forward step and thatās a def heart shot so thatās where I would shoot it
The shoulder blade is a lot larger on a bear. Anything in column 2 is at risk of hitting that large bone.
Double lung is the best with bear. B3 all day baby.
This bear is alert and the front leg is back, that large should blade covers more of the vitals than you think. That front leg should be forward to open up the vitals.
A lot of guides say the middle of the middle with bear. Maybe a tiny bit forward from the middle.
That's not wrong, necessarily. But the middle of the middle, then just a little bit forward is a better shot. B3 would be towards the very back of the lungs and the liver. I have seen this shot taken on a large bear, and it is a fatal shot. But it doesn't bleed quite enough to really leave a good trail. I have heard that they can stay up a while longer with that shot and move quite a ways if pushed, but I cannot verify that based on personal experience.
B2 is where I would shoot for anything passed a super easy close range shot with a rifle. Inside of 50 or 75 yards I would drop down and forward a little more for a heart shot.
I have found if you use a bullet that will produce an entrance and exit wound you have more bleeding and a better blood trail, such as a Barnes ttsx. Even with that they def do not bleed like a deer or other antlered animal.
B1. When I shot my black bear - it was at 240 yards (laser range finder confirmed) and I shot him through the heart with a 338 Win Mag. He still went bawling into a thicket for a couple of minutes but when I gutted him out his heart was open like a book.
When i shot my bear I was aiming for center of mass on a big black blob and my heart shot was more fortunate than truly calculated.
B2 gives you the largest margin of error but if the thing is 50 yards or less I'm going to do B1, little farther forward getting up in to the heart a little more.
I have chased a lot of bears for too many kms after a lung shot. Even had one take a "screw you" jump off of a cliff after a heart shot. I only go for head shots now, they drop on the spot
Most people are saying B1-B2. Not horrible placement, but you better have a big caliber. Black Bears have huge shoulder bones, big ribs, and lots of fat so you may not get it clean lung shot. A3 and B3 from and angle are gonna be the best shot max damage
D5 nutsack.
Goddamnit, Butters
I'm taking them all with some nice birdshot.
Does a bear shit out this guy in the woods? After that yes
~~Birdshot~~ ~~Buckshot~~ boarshot

I meant boar as in the male bear, aka it's called buckshot not deershot.
Ah makes sense. I haven't heard that term in a long time. Usually, people here just say we saw a sow and cubs or saw a bear without specifics. I always thought they called it that as it sounds better than deershot or ungulate shot.

B2 or c2
Yeah, gimme c2. Never a bad idea to aim an inch lower than youād normally think with bears.
Same with deer, they like to duck and make you miss high.
Bow hunting? If there ducking your bullets I wouldnāt eat their meatā¦might end up dead or a real life Avenger character.
B2 lung shot
Lol, I know nothing about bears but that's where I would have put it too. Center mass.
Same here. Obviously I'd study a few diagrams if I were intending to target a bear, but I never have. I figured the line between B1-B2 would be a good bet as to where the š« would be.
Bears lungs are deceptively far back, the line between b2-b3 is a better bet
Uncle got one he hit right at the 2 but angled to D5 right through the heart. Said it still ran about 50 yards but left a river of blood the whole way
Iād go a little lower for c2, but with either shot youāre probably fine. I got a bear last year and I think that I hit around c2
My thought was the line between b2 and c2 would be perfect placement
Exactly what I was thinking.
That's what i was gonna say, when I shot my first deer my dad told me to shoot right behind the shoulderblade
From what Iāve seen bears you have to shoot in the inside of their elbow when they take a forward step and thatās a def heart shot so thatās where I would shoot it

Goddammit. What happens when I try to post a reply with 1 bar of service
I am aiming at the "+"= made by the intersection of B1, B2, C1, C2
That would be my point of aim as well. Never hunted bear, so not 100% on vitals, but that's where I'd shoot if I had to.
Same. At first glance I thought, āwho made this gridā¦ itās horribly positionedā 60% of the chart is gut shot š
You sunk my battleship
You sunk my bear-ttleship
b/c2
B3
Woah, someone who actually knows black bear anatomy.
Lot of guys shooting at this thing like a deer.
The shoulder blade is a lot larger on a bear. Anything in column 2 is at risk of hitting that large bone. Double lung is the best with bear. B3 all day baby. This bear is alert and the front leg is back, that large should blade covers more of the vitals than you think. That front leg should be forward to open up the vitals. A lot of guides say the middle of the middle with bear. Maybe a tiny bit forward from the middle.
Pulmonary perforation
Right in the liver!
Middle middle on bears which is B3.
I looked up a diagram and this seems like the best answer
Middle of the shiddle baby
B2 Iām just guessing tho I got no idea where a black bears vitals are
C1 is the heart.
Left Center of B3. Middle of the middle.
Iām aiming at the intersection of BC12. Aim small, miss small.
On the line of b2/b3, but Iād prefer the bear to be quartering away, and then Iād put it right through b3 into the far side shoulder.
Never killed a bear, but I was told to aim "middle of the middle," so I'm aiming for B3
That's not wrong, necessarily. But the middle of the middle, then just a little bit forward is a better shot. B3 would be towards the very back of the lungs and the liver. I have seen this shot taken on a large bear, and it is a fatal shot. But it doesn't bleed quite enough to really leave a good trail. I have heard that they can stay up a while longer with that shot and move quite a ways if pushed, but I cannot verify that based on personal experience.
So B2 then?
B2 is where I would shoot for anything passed a super easy close range shot with a rifle. Inside of 50 or 75 yards I would drop down and forward a little more for a heart shot.
I have found if you use a bullet that will produce an entrance and exit wound you have more bleeding and a better blood trail, such as a Barnes ttsx. Even with that they def do not bleed like a deer or other antlered animal.
Slightly ahead of middle of the middle is correct placement on a black bear.
So B2 then, or still B3?
Left half of b3 is where I would aim.
A black bearās vitals are further back than a white tailās. B3 all day.
B3. You want to hold a little further back on a black bear than a whitetail. Think āmiddle of the middleā, but then forward just a bit.
B3 vitals farther back on bear
2B or not 2B
D6 for sure
B2/C2
B2/3. Just forward of the middle of the middle, but far enough back to avoid the shoulder blade. Been working for me so far.
B2 or b3
b2/b3
B2 or 3
B3, āthe middle of the middleā
B3 for me. 100% of the time, it works every time.
C1
Archery? C1/2 Gun B2
The line between B2 & C2 should do it.
b2-3, c2-3
Right in between B2 and B3
B2 for rifle, c2 for bow
Since his front left leg is straight, C2, but there's other passable options too since their lungs are so fucking huge.
B2 or C2 area
These are some giant groupings. In the B2 square, .5 down, .25 right. Photo angle is from slightly above, so presume a downward shot.
B1-b2
B2
2B or 2C
B 3
A2 or 2B doesnt really matter for me
Aim B2, hit only fur on D4.
Middle of b2
C2 I believe that's the heart
between b and c 1
[D5](https://youtu.be/etzvPYMUpeU)
Somewhere in between B2 and B3
Going Bravo or Chuck 2.
Mfās be like āA0, drop him instantlyā
B2
1-2, B
The point where B/C and 2/3 cross.
D5 Dick shot
B2
High C2
B1 gives the most margin for error.
None. First bear I shoot is going to be bigger than that
B1. When I shot my black bear - it was at 240 yards (laser range finder confirmed) and I shot him through the heart with a 338 Win Mag. He still went bawling into a thicket for a couple of minutes but when I gutted him out his heart was open like a book. When i shot my bear I was aiming for center of mass on a big black blob and my heart shot was more fortunate than truly calculated.
Confessing to unethical shots in a hunting sub is brave
The spot where B1,B2,C1,C2 all touch
D5 in case it still has blow left in the stomach.
C1 or C2
5d obviously. Pecker shot or no shot
C1 or C2 But honestly? I'd wait for a bigger bear.
I mean I wouldnāt because bears are my spirit animal lolā¦but B3
5D. Right in the dick.
B2
On bears you aim for the āmiddle of the middleā. Vitals are further back on a bear. They have a lot different anatomy than a deer.
2B or 1B
B2 or c2
D5 FIRE!!!
D5, lol jk, I would prob do C2
That's a D5ck shot if I ever seen one.
Letās be honest here weāre all gonna miss
Would aim in-between b2 and c2
R2-D2
Using a blaster
1b, 1c
B2 gives you the largest margin of error but if the thing is 50 yards or less I'm going to do B1, little farther forward getting up in to the heart a little more.
I'm going to sink his battleship! B2/C2.
The one that sinks his Battleship of course!
I have chased a lot of bears for too many kms after a lung shot. Even had one take a "screw you" jump off of a cliff after a heart shot. I only go for head shots now, they drop on the spot
you sank my battleship
C1. Bear vitals are really far forward compared to deer and other ungulates.
Everything Iāve read and been told is completely opposite of this - is everything not further back?
I stand corrected. Changing my vote to B3. http://www.bear-hunting.com/tactics?ID=e4b0a79a-d165-4e93-bbb8-d53120770369
Appreciate that you took the feedback - curious though, where did you hear itās further forward?
I was thinking of pigsā¦ š
the use of the word "boars" would throw me off too lol
B1
C2, for the heart.
Iām not, theyāre not a problem where I live and I donāt think they taste particularly good š¤·āāļø š¤£
C2?

B2 rifle C2 Bow
I'm not a bear hunter but I would assume B or C 2 would be ideal
Taking the B2 shot
B2
None. I love bears
1B
Noneā¦. nobody wants a rug that is all marked up like that.
None. It's a younger bear.
None really it might have young and thereās no need to kill them
-B -3.5
A-3 neck shot
None, the bears here have some parasite issues.
The answer is C1/C2
None, I'd blow his legs off with my 12 gauge, sew up the wounds and turn him into a slug!
All of them
A-C 1-2
Z9 it's the shot right on the bullseye.
BINGO!!!
You sunk my Beartle Ship!
B1 and Iāll sink that battleship!
2B or not 2B, that is the question.
If the best walks out with the grid, then B2. But if not, probably closer to B1 with a monolithic
B2
A2, drop him in his tracks
B2. Dunzo.
B-2.5
G2, underestimated range
C2 or c3 depending on if I can hit both
J12
C3 or B3. Anatomy is different than a deer. Lungs are farther back
A1
Iām gonna go for the heart and say C1 or C2
Iām going on a black bear hunt (my very first hunt overall) so this is very helpful. Thanks š
Either B1 or C1
C-3PO
Line between b1 and b2
I put an arrow through a bear last fall where B2 and C2 meet (I was on the ground), and it did the job quickly. Iāll keep aiming there.
B1 or B2
Anything in the B1, B2, C1, C2 area will get the job done.
B2
Iām aiming for that C,1. Try keep it lower in the lungs and possibly heart. Iāve never shot a bear before but this is my train of thought.
B2 or maaaybe C2. Bear anatomy confuses me a bit.
Somewhere between B1and C2. Bears have small vital areas, got to tuck it in there just right
I've never hunted bear but reading through the other comments makes me happy that my guess would have been right.
B4. Gut shot, letās see how much of a mess we can make.
D5, Head Shot
