Have you ever had a bear incident?

[u/dke783]

Honest question: have you ever had to fend off an aggressive bear in Canada? (hunting or otherwise) What happened,​ and what worked for your response? ​​

[u/Flat-Dark-Earth]

I’ve had bears charge while hunting after they’ve been shot.

Never a random act of aggression.

Your first shot made them mad? Crikey, that's terrifying to hear!

What kind of caliber/bore do use for your bear hunting?

Do you aim for chest, neck, or head?
