What type gun did you use to kill a bear a 12ga. slug or a rifle?
The two bears we shot in our camp were taken with a 30-06 and a 300 Mag. A 12ga slug would probably work fine in close range. But a rifle is the usual bear medicine. Most deer rifles will work on smaller to average bears. A really big bear, I would go with a 30-06 or bigger.
