[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3033962, member: 8394"] I've seen rifles used, but never a pistol. Keep in mind most my experience is problem Bears in the village and an occasional one shot trying to push us off a kill. I'm sure they get used, seems like every few years another report of a pistol defense occurs. Within a few weeks it's very hard to tell fact from fiction, and the urban legend lives on in grainy pictures hung in gun shops and internet threads. My flow chart is rifle>shotgun>handgun>spray>, 10mm for the pistol but think anything is going to be better than chucking rocks so am ambivalent in what's best. Come to think of it, can only think of one bear fatality in my areas villages and that was three villages over in the late 90s. We did have a school teacher get killed by wolves out for a jog about ten years ago. Seem to remember much more problem Bears in the late 90s early 2000s. [/QUOTE]
