I agree 100 percent. Well sort of the kid was the only one we had the option of throughing a bear tag on... yes there's bloody clothes. Their in a safe place. Isn't behind the shoulder and the cheast the same area? Its common for a hunter yo say "I put the stick behind his shoulder" in reality they may have hit the cheast. Either way who cares where I hit it. I originally guessed it to be 120 yards. After returning to the location I guessed it to be closer to 80 yards then 120. Either way lets not put too much thought into some details. Well do what you wish. I think that about covers it.
(530)289-3700 that's the number to the sierra county sheriffs office. Knock yourself out. I'm sure they will take your report very seriously
