One shot with bird shot. One shot with a 10mm. The bear ends up retreating and very sick, probably mortally wounded.

Being armed and willing to use those arms is critical in defending oneself against bear attacks.

A face full of bird shot would be a pretty good deterrent to any animal Inwould think.

Interesting back-and-forth between
bigfootbob an jewbacca.
There are a few things not mentioned in
the article that would affect shot
penitration. 1. Shot size. Pheasant
require a no.6 shot size due to the
average distance the bird is flushed
from the hunter along with the overall
mass of the bird.
Smaller upland birds tend to flush
closer to the hunter where a 7-1/2-8
shot size is used so as not to blow
the bird to smithereens.
The weight of the shot affects how far
it’effective killing range is and the
impact it delivers. The choke on a
shotgun determines how far spread out
the shot is in it’s effective killing
range. (something else the article does
not mention).
How close was the bear, what shot size
was used, and what was the choke on the
shotgun? (improved, modified, or full)?
I highly doubt a shotgun with a
improved choke, shooting 7-1/2 or 8 shot
at a 900lb charging grizzly at 30 yds
is going to have much of an affect.
The guy still had to have time to pull,
aim, and fire the 10mm, so that 30yds
guess is questionable.

A grizzly bear walking through the forest spots a rabbit taking a dump.

The grizzly bears says ‘hey Mr. Rabbit, does that shit stick to your fur?’

The rabbit answers back ‘nope!’

So the grizzly bear picks up the rabbit and wiped his butt with it...

I saw a horse with a broken leg that had been put down with a shotgun at very close range. One shot did the trick.
