Deescalation. They hate ir lights and motion lights.
I know someone who shot a 12ft 3 times center mass with 30-06, and it ran off, so if you've absolutely got to shoot, don't miss, and go for the throat or T zone. Keep in mind they are never alone, very fast, and they can throw basketball sized boulders with accuracy about 130yds.
Deescalation is the best defense. But I usually carry 30 caliber of some kind for the extra penetration. Dogs provide early warning, but they will target them first.

Yeah. Been 'escorted' out of a couple areas, pincered, whistled at, heard them doing the mumbling talk at 1am, had camp circled
