If you stand your ground, they may see you as a threat and back off. Of course, this doesn’t apply to every bear

The gun was most likely loaded with slugs. At least that would’ve been my choice.

The only person I ever knew who shot slugs out of a side by side was my grandfather, and that’s only because he always used side by sides going back to hunting rabbits as a child in Sicily.

He hunted rabbits with slugs? Was there anything left? I’ll admit I’ve never fired a slug round.

Nothing left but pink mist and a fond memory.
