[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1599395, member: 71039"] I have never been attacked or charged by a bear, so I am working through this like most of us are. However, since I hunt elk and deer where there is a grizzly population, this is close to home. I get the warm fuzzies that come with "a whole lotta rifle", I am just not convinced that a whole lotta bolt action rifle is going to be much more useful than a baseball bat if a grizzly charges and attacks you. Would it be bad to bring a 375 Ruger or a 338 on the hunt? No. Are you going to be able to get it on a big bear that comes out of nowhere and attacks you? Maybe...I think personally I will take my chances with a large caliber hand gun - I am dropping the rifle and drawing the side arm and I am pointing the gun at fur and pulling the trigger until the mag is empty. That is just my opinion, you don't have to agree. [/QUOTE]
