Yep, it is bear season, so I've got my double barrel shotgun out. What I do is cut a couple of shells at the crimp and dump the shot out. I put one shell in each chamber, then dump in an ounce and a half of dried beans into each barrel and tamp some newspaper on top of them. I aim for the aft end of the bear to avoid hitting an eye and let him/her have it. That seems to run them off right well -- I've never had one come back for a second dose.
