Hi Guys,
As this is a UK forum I dont think that too many here have been brown bear hunting but I give it a shot anyhow, maybe someone from the States or Alaska has been hunting it.
I would like to know a little about the type of shotgun would be good choice to buy. What do you think is the right ammo? Slugs or buckshots? Could you tell me something about hunting technics. How do you drop shoot a bear rushing you. My neighbour and I are in disagreement over it. He says that shooting him in the head even with a normal 12 gauge should do the job if one waits long enough, I doubt that and think that the bear still gets to me before I kill him.
thanks
Abbe
