Hunting things that hunt you...I hear bear burgers are greasy, I wonder what the bears think of human burgers
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

We only get brown or black or whatever bears here so far, they came back in the last ten years, at least officially, they were here before that only the officials didn't want to believe it. Friend of mine raises pigs, he hears a hell of a commotion while stepping out of the shower one evening. Figuring the coyotes were at the pigs he grabs the nearest gun, a .38 special S&W snubnose and runs outside without bothering to grab a robe. Comes around the corner of the pen to find himself face to face with a bear just dispatching it's second pig and not happy at the interruption. Without thinking he shot the bear five times in the head, at least one round penetrated the eye socket into it's brain killing it before it could disembowel the naked idiot standing in front of it. It was ruled self defense by the DEP, the gun was legal, and because he wasn't dressed none of us knew he pissed himself. That was our most serious bear incident to date.

I still feel bad for the cougar that found its way into Mountain View last year. Even after being relocated it tried to come this way again but got hit on the freeway. The cat's hiding place was across the street from where I work, a little more than a block from where I live.
Good luck with the hunt. Mr. Bear shown here with the rifle that dispatched him,was taken in Northern Calif. in the mid 80s. Be sure to think about how you are going to get him home, I didn't. After Mr. Bear met Mr. Winchester we, (3 other deer hunters), had to haul his 375 lbs about a 1/4 mile to the houseboat we were on then to the boat launch to get it to my truck.

I'd guess that most any county in the south would have them. They don't like the cold so much but I've read that a lot of the Midwest is getting them bad enough to pass nuisance laws for them.
