I grew up in Kenora Ontario. Every fall we would have black bears in town. One year was the worst with all the forest fires arround. We had 585 black bear trankelized or shot by police. If you think a shot gun with slugs will take down a hungry bear at 20 yards your wrong. I hope you have good aim. On more then one incedent the officers had to put 3 or more slugs into a bear to get him to drop. Those were charging at them.
That year I was chased three times. If you think it is a rush it was. But in the end what I learnt was that being lood and big will most likely get you out of 90% of an attack.
