Interesting, thanks for the reply.

Talking theoretically and maybe assuming you happened to be on holiday abroad when SHTF struck :

Depending on your experience of larger animal hunting, you might want to consider some training/study/course in tracking, as a suplementary prep. My thinking is that a slingshot would have limited capability to create an exit wound and with the projectile still plugging the entry wound, the opportunity for a decent blood trail could be limited.

Brave guys who hunt brown bear with one :o Saw one last week by the way (67° 39' 37.1400" 24° 33' 32.4660").
