More for debate than anything, there is one big hole in the big lead theory. The 9' bear in question took 3 350gr slug, starting at under 10' distance at extremely high velocity and still ran away "as it it wasn't even injured". What is to say it wouldn't just piss the bear off more and cause it to run over you instead? This has been the response in more than one case. Plus it leaves a wounded, ticked off, very dangerous animal in the bush that another person could stumble across. I can't say that bear spray wouldn't cause the bear to continue the charge either though. Just some thoughts to consider.
