Are typical deer hunting slugs capable of reliably dispatching an aggressive black bear or do you absolutely need a Black Magic Magnum from Brenneke or some other super heavy slug?
It should go without saying that I don't hunt black bears and hope to never run into one up close, but they frequent the area I hunt and it's better to be safe than sorry. Grizzlies get all the bad press, but black bears carry out far more attacks.
