i'd go slugs only. buckshot is going to glance pretty easily off its skull. its not like its going to come after you broad side. its head on, and you have skull and chest/ribs to get through before you hit vitals. if you really want some good bear slugs check out the heavier offerings of brenekke and dixie slugs. also a bear attack is going to be very close (infact at contact distance haha), if you are worried about buckshot spread, that means the bear is far enough away that its not considered self defense, its considered over reacting.

might just be good to have a bird bomb or two on hand, so if you see it at a distance you can just scare it off.
