Bear protection

While surfing YouTube I ended up going from bear protection to hunting, this is something that I am familiar with. I just watched several videos discussing bear protection and your best options but they miss the most important part, the bullet.

Once you have decided on a bear protection firearm you need to seriously decide what ammo or bullet you are going to use. Bullets basically come it two flavors, solid and hollow point. Deer are considered easy game to penitrate for a humane kill but bears are different with thick bone and fat that you need to punch through to reach the vitals for either a quick kill or a deterrent.

A hallow point will expand delivering all the energy into the target instead of a pass through. Bears are different and you need a solid bullet to drill though the fat to reach the vitals. A hollow point that opens prematurely before damaging the vitals is only going to piss off the bear, choose wisely.
