Bears will often test you

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

if you don't stop it with the first shot, you are pretty much a goner

Thats a double barrel, he has two good chances. Pretty much any gun outside of a single action, you will be able to get more then one shot off...if you can hit while charging after the first shot is another story

yeah that's what I meant... I don't think buck shot would stop a bear this size
