Are you driving or flying?

For grizz you are going to need something bigger than a .357! .41 or .44 mag minimal! When you get here go see Don at The Pawn Shop on Broadway. He has a few nice bear swatters.

Chances are better with 2 cans of pepper spray. Stuff works!

Pretty hard to hit a charging bear with a handgun. If you miss or wound the bear, shoot yourself. That is what a buddy who is a ranger here and a bear specialist told me!
