Summary
On this episode of the Bear Hunting Magazine Podcast Clay Newcomb is joined by Ryan Greb and Kolby Morehead in an in-depth discussion regarding archery & rifle shot placement on bear. Most people come into bear hunting with a whitetail shot placement mentality, and there are many places where they just don't overlap. The guys discuss topics such as: organ anatomy, shooting 'middle of the middle', fat & hair, not shooting "low & tight", prioritizing getting two holes, blood trailing bears, equipment needs, fixed blade vs mechanical, pit blinds for bear, and kinetic energy versus momentum for evaluating penetration.
