The number one round used for poaching of bears is .22 Magnum from handguns and rifles. Most bears that are confiscated by game and fish from poachers only have one or two bullets in them of that caliber. 17HMR is also gaining in popularity as evidenced in confiscations also...
I feel amply defended in the woods when I am squirrel hunting with a .22 Magnum handgun or rifle.
Of course, this is against little ol' cute black bears.
