[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 2538520, member: 118066"] Wouldn't count on bears going down easy! I've related this story before, but my brother was fishing guide in Alaska for about a decade. He and friend had been fishing for hours and came back to the tent camp to rest. Just threw out sleep pads on the ground crawled into sleeping bags and fell out. My brother awoke to his friend screaming mike, Brown bear over and over again. When he sat up in his bag the bears butt wad only couple of feet from his face. It was bitting chunks out of his friends bag with him in it. It jumped away and pulled the tent out of the stakes and shook it like a dog with a rabbit. Mike had a twelve gauge pump with him beside his bag and when the bear saw him pick it up it growled and started to lunge towards him. First slug hit the bear square in the chest from five feet away. It turned away and he opened up with buck shot and another slug. It ran couple of hundreds feet into a willow brush thicket by the river. when he calmed down his friend they got into the boat and as they beached it by the willow brush it roared and charged them. The next shot between the eyes stopped it. Hit by a slug center chest, load of buck from ten yards, another slug in the hip at twenty yards. Then one in the head to finish. He admitted the head shot was lucky. It was a six hundred pound sow. It is a much longer story, but you get the point. Not easy to kill when they a upset. Front paw middle claw. [/QUOTE]
