Lot so time to get in one shot from my 14 bore single shot ML. lol I'd be waiting a few seconds before shooting. We (junior forest officers) in a bus driven by a man who absolutely hated bears, chased a big sow black bear down a highway in Northern Ontario at a speed of 35 MPH - for about 1 mile maybe 1 1/2 miles before she veered off the pavement without slowing down while running through some young aspen trees. We could hear her breaking them off as she ran - not kidding, not slowing down at all. That was an eye-opener. I've read a grizzly or brown can run a little bit faster than that. |
