[QUOTE="gundummy911, post: 458379, member: 2461"] I spent many years in North Idaho before I retired, and my barber there spent summers guiding fishing expeditions into the heart of bear country. His solution was a Stevens 311 12ga SXS. One barrel loaded with a slug, and the other with "00" buck. He had successfully used this combination on several occasions when curious grizzlies had gotten un comfortably close or had charged his party. He applied it like this: "First, you give him the buck shot in the face or chest area. If the Bear is merely curious this will usually cure that, and he will retreat. If the bear is determined, and seems to have his heart set on "surf AND turf", then the buck applied that way will stop him and nine times out of ten, he will sit down on his haunches while he tries to figure out what hit him, then you deliver the slug to the chest.
