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).

I've heard of guys using spears and even knives for big boars but for bears would be a new one.  Also a shot (gun shot) in the shoulder from the front or side will work because they can't charge you at that point. Then you finish em off.  You're correct about a frontal head shot, most likely it would deflect but would work well from the side. Ya can't shoot too low either. A 12 gauge sabot slug will work even out to 50 yards. It may even work better than a 44 magnum. The 44 magnum was at one time the most common handgun cartridge to carry for bear.

Well the OWS group isn't a political party, but that does seem to be their mantra. What's your point?
