Bear are easy to kill of shot correct. They ALWAYS die within 50 yards ( usally within 30 yards). If double lunged or heart shot. Been in on about 300 bear kills and willl not allow any expandable head in camp! I want an entry n exit. Trailing in the dark ain't fun!, And I've had way too much ( fun) chasing bear shot with expandable heads.
Shot them with old original Snuffers and 3 blade Muzzy. I agree you have to get that exit hole. Too much hair will slow the blood. Can’t wait to put a Iron Will in one!
I agree about bears being easy to kill. That surprised me when I first started hunting them as opposed to a whitetail. Shot placement is key as it is with any game animal and I had to learn that I needed to aim a little differently for a bear than I would for a whitetail. 300 bear kills is an accomplishment!
