If he is being charged by a bear coming at him at close to 30 mph, there isn't going to be a lot of time to shoulder a gun and fire, especially with a back padck full of gear. He may be better with some 00 or 000 buck that he can rapid fire from the hip at the face of the animal. Its a shooting technique taught with shot guns and can be quite effective. I am no expert tho.
