Description
When the threat has four legs, claws and teeth, you need Brenneke Bear Protection
It might seem odd that several of our best customers are in Alaska…where rifle hunting rules. It’s not the least bit odd, however, if you’re a wildlife or law enforcement officer who has to patrol in bear country. These professionals have found that a fast-handling shotgun loaded with Brenneke slugs provides the most reliable, immediate stopping power possible—power that can save their lives—during a surprise encounter with a large, ill-tempered bruin.
Over the years, we were asked so often by north country officers “what slug is best against bears?” that we decided to make the choice easy by offering two of our heaviest, most powerful slugs that have been proven against dangerous game around the world. There can be only one winner in a bear vs. human encounter.
We’d like to make sure it’s you.
Large & Dangerous Game
Brenneke slugs in a fast-handling shotgun are the choice for personal protection of many of Alaska’s professional wildlife and law enforcement officers who often find themselves on patrol in bear country. Why? Because no other projectile/firearm combination provides the instant, devastating stopping power—that can save their lives—during an unexpected encounter with an angry bruin.
Brenneke slugs have taken some of the largest, most dangerous game animals on earth, including Cape buffalo…a testament to Brenneke power and lethality.
It might sound odd that Alaska is one of our better markets for shotgun slugs…a state known more for rifle hunting. That’s because Alaska police, wildlife officers, and search and rescue agencies, who must venture into the back country, know there is no surer, quicker way to stop a grizzly or an angry moose than with one of our most powerful 12 gauge slugs.

Their large frontal area—nearly 3/4″ in diameter—transfers all that inherent energy over a broader front than the largest rifle bullet, resulting in instant shock and the best possible outcome in a bear/human encounter.
