They make hard rubber 00 Buckshot/Slugs that hurt like hell but do no long term damage. You want that bear to FEAR humans and leave the area.  ...   That extra hurt from non-lethal rounds would have probably driven it far off. Bears are smart. Once they relate humans to pain, they'll steer clear. Good for the humans, better for the bear as nuisance bears get killed by the game wardens.


I have long wondered why a product hasn't been developed that when consumed would make a bear temporarily but quickly very uncomfortably sick.  It seems places like Yellowstone are constantly dealing with bears coming into parks foraging for food.  Such a product would teach them park food is not a desirable item.
