[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 2086620, member: 115704"] PH's in Africa usually have a gunbearer carrying a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot for a backup gun for big cats, and a few gunbearers for the really big stuff. (elephants, rhino, and Cape buffalo) If you are in bear country and carrying a handgun, it is probably your belief that you will only need it in an emergency, unless it is your primary hunting weapon. Sometimes you just have to put that rifle down to take care of other business. Like cleaning your kill, or packing the meat out and not carrying the extra weight of the rifle in your hands, or maybe relieving yourself while your partner is picking blueberries. A back-up pistol in bear country has saved a life or two over the years. Oops, That comment was meant for SDPlinker's remark. Sorry bout that. [/QUOTE]
