Grizzly bear takes shotgun blast at point-blank range and keeps charging | New York Post

CWO3 (Join to see) - They said there was no blood, but I believe that is because it was still being wicked up by the fur. He let a wounded animal get away to live in pain or die badly. I don't know this guy, but I think it's highly likely I would not like him.

depends on what shot he was using, 4 or 6 shot would hurt but I don't think it would kill a bear 2 or buck would likely kill with a head shot

Sgt Jim Belanus - He was about 5 yards from the bear, rule of thumb is a pattern spreads about 1 inch per yard, so even a birdshot pattern would be very dense, 4-6 inches in diameter, and still moving over 1,000 feet per second, it would hit like a hammer and I cannot see how it would not wound. If the bear is unlucky, it lost its eyes.

we don't have many bear and hope to never run across one
