I wonder what the sheriff meant when she said she hit it in the backside with a “bear round” and it ran off.

I would think a bear round would be a 12 gauge sabot slug. Must mean something different in California.

Rubber buckshot probably.
I’ve been meaning to get some in case I have a bear problem here.

Guessing something like this?:
NobelSport Is Excited to Offer a Full Line of Less Than Lethal Options for the Law Enforcement or Civilian Looking for a Defensive Alternative to Deadly Force
The NobelSport Less Than Lethal line is made of a series of specialty type shots to be used in scenarios where deadly force has not been authorized. This particular Less Than Lethal option is made up of a single round rubber ball. The shell is 2-3/4” long and features a transparent hull. This round is perfect for use in a crowd control or compliance situation.

I was wondering the same thing. Must be a no hurt em round.

Sabot rounds work best in rifled shotgun barrels.
Brenneke “Black Magic” is a bear slug
