[QUOTE="dogz, post: 3095242, member: 5429"] Phil is the MJ of the bear world, make no doubt about. I haven't watched the interview for a while but it seems to me he got a shot or two into the bruin but the one that put a stop to it was to the noggin. Without that final shot to the head I'd bet that more than likely one or the other of the fellas would of had tracks and fang marks on them (or worse)............ I carry my G43X and my G20, always Buffalo Bore Hard cast and I practice a lot with them coming out of a chest holster. For sure if under attack I'd hit them where I could, but given my druthers if CNS were an option I'd go CNS in order to put a stop to the fray. I've had two charges by black bears, both while guiding. Both bruins were wearing a bullet from a client and were quite ****ed at the world! Both altercations ended with one well placed round under the chin. One at 9' and coming hard and fast, the other @ 15' and closing the distance quickly. I used a 25/06 on the first one and my 22/250 on the other. Bottom line, we all have choices to make, and I hope to heck that none of us ever have to get into a scrap with a bear, in particular a G bear. Where I live in SWMT there isn't much for places where one can't have the chance to run into one. There's been one spotted up in the Bears Paw and last fall there was one running amuck up in the Breaks where my wife and I were hunting for her sheep. I love the bruins, but I prefer to watch them on my terms:) [/QUOTE]
