I killed a Black Bear one year that had a 12 gauge foster style slug in his shoulder. The slug broke the upper leg bone and stopped prior to entering the chest cavity. I doubt he would have survived the winter. I got after him with hounds and he was in a bit of a tizzy.

I would not hesitate to use a 12 gauge 2 3/4 inch slug on a Black Bear. I would not use a foster style one, though.
