[QUOTE="Tony 0321, post: 318678, member: 16800"] A dog can be either good or bad it depends on the dog some will actualy chalange a bear while some tuck tail and run, and that can be a bad thing because if a dog is being chased it is most likley going to run to you for protection bringing along the bear with it.. I have a begal and she wont make a sound when a bear is around but my wife has an american pit that has ran bears out of our yard.. I like to bring the dogs with me if I am camping or hiking but not hunting their nose and ears are a lot better than mine and if you learn what their reactions are when a bear is close that at least lets you know to be on the lookout.. I also work in the oilfield in the winter months and most of the remote places we work have dogs for just the purpose of letting you know a bear is in camp. I seen the skull and know the guy that shot the bear that jmden is talking about it was just a few miles from my house he also had a dog with him and when he got charged the dog took off and went home I believe it was a german shepard. Like jmden says a big hand gun is good but if it is so big and punishing that you dont want to practice with it and are not proficient with it how good is it really going to be to you the S&W 500 is a pistol big enough th stop a train but is evil to shoot thats why I prefer the 44 I like shooting that and even the 454 is a great gun both of these being a good compromise between good bone crushing power and not being to punishing on the recoil.
