Brown bear in heavy brush on moose carcass at 75 yards detected hunter & 2 guides. He charged them, cleared brush at 20 yards, all 3 fired at same time...300 Wby, 338 Mag & 375...all hit bear in the chest.
The shots stopped the bear, knocking him back on his butt...guide said only time he has ever seen a bear stopped by bullets that didn't kill him.
Bear then rolled sideways, back on feet and continued the charge. All three fired again & bear dropped dead 7 yards from closest shooter.
Brown bear measured 9', killed 300 miles West of Anchorage.
My last guide carried a pump shotty, 1st round buckshot to the face to give them pause, followed by slugs.
Glad we didn’t have to test his methods.
