[QUOTE="436, post: 2485289, member: 16609"] I've never faced a big Bear in a full-out charge, however, I have seen up close how fast they are, from what I understand, using shot or buck against big Bear or pretty much any Bear is rolling the dice of life, just not a good idea, shot and buck spread at about 1-inch per-meter, 10 yards you have about a 9-inch pattern, and no time to be fooling around, perhaps that shot on the Bear might have been better with a slug, because... you may not get a second one, as I said; they are super fast. My last thought on using something other than a heavy rifle or shotgun slug is; You really don't want to leave a wounded ****ed off Big Bear in the woods hurt for the next guy to stumble across, they seem to get "very" vindictive, just ask the folks around the goldfields in Dawson City, Yukon which I have, their sage advice is to kill it for sure or leave it alone, injured Bears from traps and guns shots have done a lot of damage up there. Just my 0.2 Cheers. [/QUOTE]
