Peep (GR) and open sights do work better for slugs than beads do, but how far away do you think a bear will constitute a "Clear and Present Danger"?

I'm sure that most game wardens would regard a dead bear shot at more than 20 yards away as a violation of the game laws, more than a narrow escape on your part.
