When in Newfoundland a few years ago, one of the guys in camp shot a 400+ black bear. Broadsided 200 yards away thru both lungs, 300Winmag. That thing the guide said, was pulling himself in the black spruce. Well, they lost it. Some guides I see there won't go after a Black bear until days have passed. Well, they started smelling it. It made its way 200 yards into the black spruce. Thats a tough animal.
