Get in close and a well aimed shot in the chest or head will fold him. YardTue, 02 Feb 2010 22:44:53 GMTyarddog5http://www.mossyoak.com/forum/Topic48017-25-1.aspxIf it's a 12 gauge, think about it...we're talkin' the equivalent of a .70 caliber rifle round. If that ain't sufficient...you don't really have too many more options available as far as more power is concerned. Most guys I know that bear hunt with a shotgun use Brenneke's but if you're gun is already sighted in for them shells then use what you're comfortable with by all means... Enjoy yourself and good luck....& be safe out there with them beens... <img align="absmiddle" src="http://www.mossyoak.com/forum/Skins/MOP/Images/EmotIcons/Cool.gif" border="0" title="Cool">Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:15:37 GMTFL_Crackerhttp://www.mossyoak.com/forum/Topic48017-25-1.aspxI have a been hunt booked for spring and the guide recommends slugs, this is my first bear hunt so need some options. Slug gun is no big deal because I have hunted deer for years and use federal cooper barnes expanders. Will these be good for a black bear?<br>Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:15:58 GMTeubie
