[QUOTE="CUTTER1, post: 1671618, member: 94423"] I live in bear, wolves and mountain lion country (WY) and spend a lot of time in Alaska in big bear country and always find humor in those who carry bear spray, always tell them that when they have a dangerous encounter that first thing to do with the Bear spray is to spray themselves, as they are less likely to be attacked than spraying the animal and wolves and bears don't like the taste of pepper spray so better chance they won't be eaten by either if your covered with spray! For cow moose or a bull in rut they will hurt or kill you, they scare me a lot more than Grizzlies. A mountain lion with intent to have you are extremely dangerous and will be all over you before you even know they are there! I carry a 45 1911 for 40 years and do everyday but in high risk areas I always carry a handgun and big bore always! I've gone the entire route from 44 mag to 500 Smith, and have finally settled on a 460 Rowland in a custom STI double stack with 14 rounds in the gun in a custom chest holster. As a IPSC compeditor for years it is a platform that is purely natural for me. Quick into action even with a pack and rifle on or while fishing, getting in a float plane or on a horse. Can put 14 rounds in the "A" zone much quicker that 6 out of any 44 mag. If you carry I can't reinforce too much that you have to practice frequently with any handgun. After both serious encounters with 2 Grizzlies and one cow moose, I take it seriously! And never bring pepper spray in my airplane! Float plane and bush pilots will make you double bag it and put it in the dumpster at their base! Maybe in a float but never in the plane! Several encounters I've experienced with 2 leg type have always came out favorable with intent and conviction to use deadly force and is why I carry every day. [/QUOTE]
