Minutes later, three Sparta police officers arrived and drew their shotguns. Three shots later, the bear was dead.

What were they shooting - birdshot?

You don't know much about bears, do you?

A bear can take repeated fatal hits with 12 guage slugs and still kill you before dying. Really.

I think you want to make sure a now pissed off and injured bear is down for the count.

I really don't want to sound like an ass here, but have you ever seen a bear?

I'm not sure my 3 1/2 inch shells with .00 buck will do the job with one shot on that. I'll be playing it safe with them if I have to shoot it.
