We were camping in the Angeles Forrest when my wife woke me and said a bear was going through our cooler. I looked out of the tent and saw the bear with his front claws through our cooler tearing into a gallon of milk. Unprepared at the time as this was a while ago, I now have quite an impressive gun collection. At the time my family was in danger and all I had was a CZ75 9mm. I fired a shot in the air and the bear took off faster than I thought a bear could move.
That being said, I was talking with my father and we can't decide which would have been more effective at that range, a 12 gauge with slugs, or a 30-06. I would like your opinions as I think they are both extremely lethal. This was a Black Bear, not a Grizzly.
