Default RE: Buckshot for Bear Defense

New sabot loads are interesting but accuracy is a challenge when a charge is on and your pants are filling up. Bottom line is that browns can outrun a deer in first 50 yards and if you do shoot one the fish and game will be living with you. Best to make noise and leave the food at camp. If they are feeding well usaully OK. Have a video of a sow and two cubs across a small creek and her charging me but she turned around midstream after I backed off. Never supposed to run from a bear but I'm living proof that you can and survive. Just lucky.
