If you want to hunt with bears, you need to know what to do. Most any hand gun will kill the bear if he is attacking you.People just do not want to let it go that far. Dont wast your bullets shooting at a bear runing at you. the best is to hold your hand gun right by your head,when the bear gos to bite your head you shoot it in the roof of the mouth. SHURE DEATH KILL. [this is only if you or a goup is actuly being attacted]

I think most of the time people get woried befor there time and try to skeer the bear off with some shoots.Then when the time comes they have no rounds in there gun.

I have only been pushed by bears 3 times.All 3 north of lincon MT. All with hourses,all with game on the ground.Every time was hear rassing all went well though. If you go in bear spots you need to have VERY good hourses.

If you cary a rifle it better be to potect some one else [not your self]. To protect your self you sould go hand gun, pepper spray or shoot gun. pepper stray 1st
