[QUOTE="cynicrit, post: 1059709, member: 80156"] So... What I'm seeing, based on knowledgeable sources here, is this: 1) As with any defensive situation, the #1 thing is situational awareness, to avoid the situation to begin with, 2) If you find yourself with no way out, Bear Spray is better than a stick. 3) Better yet is the largest caliber revolver you can manage, properly loaded for bear. No less than .44 Rem. mag. That way, at the very least, they will know which bear ate you. 4) best option: a 12ga. with full house slug or 000 buck loads. That's a lot of extra carry, but the best insurance is expensive. 5) And if at all possible, shovel up and shut up. While individual wildlife personnel are some of the finest people and law enforcers you will ever find, collectively they are under the influence of a bureaucracy. JMHO [/QUOTE]
