[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1919201, member: 96251"] We run black bears in the mountains of Wv with hounds. Have had several close encounters with good sized bears . Some would rather just stand and fight the dogs then run and tree. I have personally seen 3 different bears over 250 lbs shot with a 10 mm all 3 were dead within the first 2 shots but also all 3 took almost a whole magazine full. I carry my ruger super redhawk in 44 mag with hard cast bullets for those up close encounters we sometimes have. One of the gentlemen we hunt with has an 870 police addition and carries it every time he’s away from his vehicle. With slugs. I haven’t witnessed him shooting one with it but he guarantees it will take the fight out of ol mr bear. And I’d say he’s probably right [/QUOTE]
