I don't know why I get into these discussions...
For me, it's ethical if:
The round has sufficient energy remaining at terminal impact to humanely dispatch the game AND the shooter has a good firing solution and firing position to ensure a solid hit.
The evidence suggests both of my requirements were fulfilled.
Great shooting!

You would be surprised how many on this forum can from their favored position. Under reasonable conditions, I wouldn't have any problem with any of my match rifles and my well-developed handloads. The problem I have is lack of energy. I simply do not shoot big enough cartridges to accomplish the task of taking down game humanely.
NOT a very good idea to post long range
hunting kills.
: How many here could hit a 10" plate on a cold bore shot from a tripod at 1000 yards walking around in the field?
they had a set up. not walking around.
certain range finders and conditions were included in their DOPE.

What would happen if at the next 1000 yard F-class match the rules were no sighters
allowed just shoot for score?
guess bear season would come to an end.
sad.....waaaaa.....
and only the ones with real skill will survive
Its click baiting, by reacting to his posts you give him/her/they acknowledgment, just ignore, you are waiting preciously seconds on a completely worthless pursuit.
Does not matter, Now pay attention!
The OP apparently made a good kill and had a good setup with backup
GREAT!!!! No problem.
Other hunters will see that and try to do the same without the same skill set
and equipment and wound game. Period.
thank you...put them on ignore
LOL that is how children react.
Click bait, its called discussion something that seems to elude you with your
12 posts since 2021.

I would love that! Same people would win as always. Top competitors don't often hold center to "see where it goes." They show up with a properly fouled barrel, wind reading skill, and good data. The result of having things figured out and significant experience looks like magic to the uninitiated.
That doesn't mean we are trying to shoot that pinwheel X. Those don't serve the purposes of playing the game. You should see some of the head games we play during limited sighters.
Oops, shouldn't be giving away the secrets...

I have my own opinions (that no one cares about), and I'd like to share two thoughts...
1. Congratulations on a successful hunt...
2. Be thankful we're discussing this on a properly moderated forum. Over on Long Range Hunting it doesn't matter how good you are or how bad you suck; the word ethics is blurred out the same as profanity and could get you banned.

Obviously for this man, with his equipment and skills...it was an ethical shot.
It is ethical for some, and unobtainable for others. It's the others that do all the bitc!ing. I say CONGRATULATIONS to the bear hunter. All that hard work and training helped to make for a successful hunt!
Congratulations on your bear. I'd love to get one someday.
Did you make that shot off a tripod? Really impressive. Nice shooting.

50 years is a long time to hunt a bear…… LoL
Congratulations on the hunt.
Now, WTF folks!? If the OP has the equipment and skill to pull this off, more power to him! Just because you can’t, do not rain on his achievements. Dang, never saw such a childish bunch….get the equipment and the skills OR get over it..
