ORIGINAL: DomKen Can you reliably hit the heart of a large bear charging at you with a smoothbore? That's pretty much the only shot with a 12 gauge slug that would take down any brown bear. Reliably hit anything with a 12 gauge? Nope. I am too short. i do have a 20 gauge youth size though. I would think that a head shot would work though. However, I have never really considered going hunting for a bear. Can you even imagine trying to cook the drumstick? Personally, Im not real fond of bear meat. It's really greasy and you have to cook it for ages in a crockpot. Head shot with a slug from a 12 gauge. I wouldn't count on it. That skull is really freaking thick. The most reliable way to bring a griz down is a big magnum cartridge shoulder/lung shot from medium (75-250 yards) range. You don't want em up close and personal and a slug isnt much good past 30 yards or so. That's why I laughed at the great white hunter Palin talking about a shotgun for bear. There are a few crazy bastids that actually go after them with a bow and the native Americans of the area actually made special 'bear spears' to hunt them with a spear (now THAT'S fuckin balls).
