Unless your an outdoorsman in Alaska! Here is a friend and one interaction he had with a polar bear...
"Well, today a polar bear came close to town, and was shot by a local with a .22-250. Not my choice of caliber but it seemed to work. It was shot in the neck, and wet down with one shot. the bear mesured 6' 8" from tail to nose, and 7' 10" standing. "
