[QUOTE="Bud H, post: 3034907, member: 128112"] While living in Alaska, I once watched from our tree stand, a interior grizz chew up a pepper spray can that my buddy dropped While getting into his stand. He seemed to really like the flavor, I never carried pepper spray and my buddy never did again after that. What I have learned from several bear encounters is that each one is different and so are the bears. I tell people to carry what they can shoot proficiency. I personally won't carry a semi auto, only because if and when it gets ahold of you, if you push it against the bear ( which you will most likely do) you push it out of battery and make it in operational. True you have less rounds with a wheel gun, but every time you pull the trigger it will go bang. The odds of getting a spine or head shot for most people is going to be rare or very lucky, before it is on you. Do your own research, carry what you want and practice, practice, practice and expect to come out of the encounter with scars and a story. Just my two cents. I have lived in Alaska and now in NW Montana. [/QUOTE]
