Genius in Evergreen Shoots Bears

It's an effective program for non lethal deterrence against problem bears.

I definitely agree, but given the current political climate of anything dealing with guns = BAD, who knows. The P&W spokeswoman on KOA this morning did not hail the praises of rubber buckshot- banging a spoon on a pot was the indicated preferred course of action for the unwashed masses...

Six years ago, DOW issued rubber buck shot to me, and I used one for the first time last year on a bear that came to the house one morning. I load 3 rubber buckshot followed by 3 lethal rounds. One shot to the ass of this bear sent him running fast, hopefully not to return. We expect bears to wander and be anywhere at night, but around our abode during the day, they are not welcome. Bears can be unpredictable and dangerous. I'd rather deter a bear with rubber buckshot than be hurt by one, or have to kill one in defense.

Good show! I have the same plan.
