[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1485592, member: 69192"] Both my son and I hunt black bear in Maine woods. We both carry Glock 20 (10mm in a belt holster) while we hunt. We both hunt with 35 Whelens, although plenty of rifle to black bear, my biggest concern is that I will encounter a sow with cubs on the way out in the dark! When something is up close and intimate with you, a rifle pretty much is useless. We have heard comments about carrying a pistol while we are hunting, it doesn't matter and we carry them anyway. We find the pistol to be our "seat belts" for hunting, no one ever thinks that they are going to need their seat belt until they need it. Although I consider the 10mm to be a minimal caliber for bear, it is the pistol that we are familiar with, shoot the most and find carrying the most comfortable. As HATRICK wrote in a previous post, "[U][I][B]Carry[/B][/I][/U] the pistol!", don't leave it in a pack. This is a truly tragic hunting incident and [U][I]our hearts to out to the family[/I][/U] and [U][I]also to the people who had to conduct the search and recovery of the guide's body.[/I][/U] [/QUOTE]
