I dont know how big southern bears are but up here they can get up to 500 lbs. Myself and 2 friends shot one 7 times before we stopped it with a 30-06, 7mm rem. mag and a 350 rem mag. My friend hit it in the side with the 30-06, then it came back at me and I hit it in the front shoulder with a 350 Rem. mag and it summersaulted got up and kept coming, my other friend hit 3 times in the side with a 7mm Rem mag. then it came back toward me when I hit it in the neck front chest area at about 60 feet and dropped it, the bear dressed out at 303lbs. My friend insisted we put in on the roof of his van, with help from others we put it on and it caved in the roof. I dont think I would be typing on this forum right now had I used buckshot in any gauge shotgun! I shudder when I think about how we hunted bears in caves with handguns the year before, YIKES!!!! I gave up my bear hunting career and took up fishing instead, fresh water only fishing at that!
