Default RE: Side arm vs. Grizzley

ORIGINAL: Double Droptine

Thanks to all for your replies.

I was originally thinking about taking my .45 auto because I can lay out 7 shots in a very short amount of time thinking that 7 from a .45 was better than 2 or 3 from a .44. I can borrow a Redhawk .44 with a 6" barrel.

I think I will go only with the pepper spray unless my 2 fellow hunters also decide to pack because I highly doubt I would be able to hit that beer can size brain on a moving griz.

The likelihood of seeing a griz is slim. the odds of having one attack is even slimmer. If I had to choose one weapon it would be my 12 ga. with 00.
It doesn't hurt to take your 45 anyway, and sure your odds are slim of seeing a griz, but add fresh Elk meat, a blood trail, and a hungery bear it does increase your odds a little. Good Luck.
