Yes I am sure I have large enough calibers.
That’s in 95% of the cases against the slower and much smaller brown and black bears. As for the other 5% ... not to worry - it will take some time before the first Short Faced Bears are grown and released into the wild near you :)
Perhaps about that time they will release the first 30mm hand gun ...
