Black bear are one species I will not attempt a shot at range, as their first instinct is to roll downhill into puckerbrush and disappear. I'm not into following a wounded bear into blackberry jungles, and we have loads of those.
I had to follow a wounded bear into the brush last fall. And the shot was close. It was quartering away from me, and I think I just kind of shot center of mass rather than placing it more in the front quarters. So I gut shot it in other words. It was exciting doing that for sure! Anyhow, shots can go bad at any range, let alone long range.
