[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 1598613, member: 9705"] Those guys should have spread out some. They had plenty of time. I don't want anyone behind me if things start happening fast. Last thing I want is to shoot my partner tying to scare off the bear. Make the animal choose one of you or the other. That leaves shooting lanes and opportunities to shoot the bear off your partner. I'd take a pistol and a 338 shooting tough bullets. If necessary I want a hole in both ends of the bear. A 338SS or WM in a light gun with a brake doesn't kick too much. Keeping the bullet weight below 250 helps on recoil. The right 210-250 gn 338 will still shoot thru any bear. [/QUOTE]
