Default Middle of the Middle

I’ll premise this by saying I’ve shot a lot of bears. I can not believe that people are serious when they advocate shooting a bear middle of the middle. But it’s trending. lol. Finally someone is saying the quiet part out loud. If this doesn’t start at the right place the time stamp is 9:50.

Who comes up with sayings like “middle of the middle”?
Not anyone who’s actually done any bear hunting I’d think…….

A 30 second google search on bear anatomy will illustrate that bear’s aren’t built like an ungulate (not like M of M is good for deer etc.)

Same holds true for African plains game.

Research and a profound respect of those critters we hunt seems to be a lost thing these days.

Wounded bears can be damned hard to find, Best get it right the first time.

Right....there....practice practice practice.



As an aside, my Rhinehart is 10 or 12 years old and faded bad, so I went to Home Depot today to get a spray bomb.

Young girl working there asked if she could help. I asked her what she would recommend to paint a bear.

'Paint a what??'

A bear.

The look on her face.

I ended up using Behr paint.
