20ga Bear Defense While Upland or Waterfowl Hunting

Bear ain't gonna mess with you

Apparently you city kids haven't shot any fence posts, trees or whatever at close range with a 20 gauge. Hell I'd even take a .410 over a fir limb if I was about to go toe to toe with Yogi. Self defense on a bear shouldnt be 30 yards out. I'm not afraid of my own shadow though :rolleyes:

I was thinking something similar but would have said it a bit different.
Anyway, I wouldn't feel under gunned at all. I suppose no one ever had a coyote sneak up on your dekes?
I had to take out a pit bull with a 3" Magnum BB and I will tell you, there wasn't a better load available to do that job.

I have my doubts that birdshot would penetrate a bear's skull but it would certainly get its attention.

I like duck, but I’d much rather come home with a bear. The problem with your scenario would be runnin all that nasty steel shot through the grinder.
