Default Black Bear Shot

One of the most difficult task black bear baiting is to convince the hunter were to place the shot, if you "deer" shoot a bear he is most likely lost in the extreme thick brush, a killing shot is high on the shoulder blade and they drop in there tracks.
A plan came to mind, the on site shooting range has a typical tree stand 25-30 m is average. Hunters hit were they are aiming most have shot deer, elk, moose behind the shoulder bang down, not going to work for beer.
When all hunters finished shooting i asked who would like to shoot a bear, a full size plywood cut out, looked easy, except i had cut a 3 in hole and put some white paper behind---now dont hit my plywood--the number of wounding dropped considerable, of course the hole very high on the shoulder.
