[QUOTE="Joe Bishop, post: 2826250, member: 91758"] I friend of mine worked in AK in the 70’s, met some old sourdoughs and said that they all carried either 12ga or a 4570 while in the back country. I read a newspaper story about a young Eskimo boy that got chased by brown bear and all he had was a .22 pistol and fired over his shoulder while running. He made it to his village and told everyone what had happened. So they followed the trail out and there was a dead bear. The kid got lucky and put a bullet in the bears eye. I shoot pistol a lot and have taken big game but under pressure I would take a 12ga slug or 375HH. [/QUOTE]
