I agree. We had a case nearby where a 700 pound black bear was actively invading homes. A homeowner shot it in the head and didn’t kill it. Big pucker.

I am surprised because real bear hunters know there is nothing better than a 45-70 loaded with flat nosed hard cast 300 or 325 gr.
3-3-, .308, etc. are not in the same league.
