[QUOTE="frogman43, post: 3033647, member: 68095"] This story brings up a very important aspect to these threads. A Grizzer bear attack is probably a lot like Sex and Snow. you won't know when you'll get it, how much you'll get, or how long it will last! So, being prepared for the unexpected is the key factor. I own and carry a Marlin 45/70 Guide Gun loaded with my hard cast loads in Bear country, BUT I also wear a handgun in a chest holster being that eventually you will set that rifle down and walk away from it, like in camp. Having that handgun on you at all times is an important aspect of surviving an incident. Another issue is that yes, better spray can be a deterrent, however it may not stop the attack, and more importantly, if used in the wrong circumstances it can incapacitate you as well. Touching off a can of spray into the wind or inside of a small space, ie. Tent, camper, etc. is a bad idea and will not help the situation like a hard cast bullet from a handgun. Not saying it can't be PART of your defense, but better be sure of your surroundings. As usual, this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it and YMMV...... [/QUOTE]
