6 dogs, deep in swamp 700yds from access finally get to the bear in her den.
12g slug all within 5yds
1st shot took out shoulder
Bear charged me, dog got involved luckily didn't get hurt and simultaneously I through a slug behind neck and bear turned and ran.
3rd shot 1/4ing away put her down and she cuddled up behind some Reed grass clump still alive and growling. She would have died but put one in the brain to end this.
250yd uphill drag out of swamp to nearest area I could get 4 wheeler in.
250# sow and the most intense bear hunt I have been involved with and is prompting me to get a 45/70 as slug almost left me in a bind.
