[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1056097, member: 4191"] There are quite a few accounts of bears aborting their charge after being struck by a bullet fired from close range, even though they weren't brained, spined, or killed outright. And just as many where the bear's charge was impeded enough to finish him off before being able to maim or kill. Just noting that firearms have successfully deterred charging bears in the past with something less than the perfect brain shot. Here's to hoping you never need to use bear spray or a bullet(s) to avoid a mauling (or worse), no matter which you prefer to use... [/QUOTE]
