I'm with Rost and would go with a 168 Tttx. I do believe you can step down in weight with monos. My choice is not so much based on the worry of a big bear, but of breaking a shoulder and making two holes, and better yet to anchor him quickly so as to not have to track one in a possible wet, thick mess.
Oh, and shoot him until he stops moving.
