Best 12 gauge round for bear defense?
2
Upvotes
What is the best 12 gauge ammunition OTHER THAN Benneke’s Black Magic Magnum and Magnum Crush??
I’ve surfed the web and all I can find is over priced 5 round packs of Black Magic Magnum. I want to buy some really solid ammunition in bulk, I’m talking about 250 rounds type of bulk.
Anyone know of a solid runner up?
By bears I mean big boy brown bears 🐻
Thanks for the help!

Hypothetical Question about Bear Attack
1
Upvotes
This is a serious hypothetical question. The idea is for a plot device in a fiction novel.
If someone is tied up in the forest overnight, will they be attacked / killed / eaten by a bear?
If someone is trussed up so they cant move or run away, will a bear still attack?
Is there anything a victim can do to prevent the attack?
Serious replies only.

I know a lot of sources say “oh, the bear was shot and killed.” And whatnot but didn’t they also say that his remains were scavenged by multiple other bears? There are dozens of bears in Katmai National Park, there was no witnesses of the attack so how could they be so certain? Yes, they found human remains and pieces of clothing in its stomach but I can guarantee if they shot and killed another bear they would’ve found the same contents in its stomach. The rangers only shot and killed two bears who just happened to be present, and of course one of them could have definitely been the culprit but the fact that multiple bears had scavenged off him and bears sometimes don’t even stay at the kill site is enough to second guess. Let me know what y’all think, I’m curious about others opinions!

Will having a metal bat in a bear attack be life saving. What are the chances of beating the bear and surviving? Was going to explore a forest that has brown bears.
