Most of the guysI know that hunt in Alaska carry one. I just want to be prepared.
Well, i lived inAlaska for 25 years and i didn't. I hunted all over the state spending a lot of time out in the bush...
Most of the folks i hunted with that had much expierence didn't carry one either...
I feel, "if you can't get it done with your rifle, your not going to get it done!"
Any yes, i have hunted and harvested several black and brown bears...
