One of the guides was asked that. “Two shots are all you’re gonna get”, he said. >>>>>>
He’s right if the bear is charging. But why let one get the drop on you? I suppose it happens.But its better to change the bear away of drop it at 100 yards, which is danger close.
A 12 gauge rifled slug is a great persuader.
Try and convince the game warden that it was a threat to you as he's arresting you and confiscating your firearm and possibly auto for illegally shooting a bear.
