Sure, 3 shots of 00buck, that equals 36 holes in the bear (provided the guy used the 12 pellet load of 00 buck). Or if he used the 9 pellet load of 00 buck, that would be 27 holes in that bear.

I'd prefer to use the theory of one shot, one kill...maybe a follow up shot if necessary using the old '06. One or two holes are better than 27 holes! I like to save the hide and have some edible meat left over too.
