I’m not in favor of hurting bears.
I like good old bear repellent.
My Dad used to rub bacon grease on me when we went fishing to keep the bears away.
It worked.....mostly.

yep... what I see isn’t what worries me... it’s the ambush while working off the banks of streams, etc. (western Montana) Fishing alone in grizzly country is pretty dern scary and not preferred, but those of us who do some of it, know the risks. I hump a big alice pack for a little extra size presentation... but probably means zilch to a determined grizz.

Notice the game wardens did not use bear spray to stop the bear...
They are not telling us if the bear had been sprayed by the victim...
That way they can assure us that bear spray has never had a documented fatal failure...

It’d just rip that to shreds in a millisecond to get to you.

Oh for sure, it’s not protective at all.... just makes you look a little bigger... again, determined grizz probably doesn’t give AF.

OK FR experts, and I am asking this sincerely: What should the guy have done? A buddy, or a dog, or some kind of bear alarm?
It’s weird because he seems to have been an experienced outdoorsman.

A company once manufactured 3 1/2” magnum slugs. They quit making them. I guess they hurt at both ends.3" shells are bad enough. I've found 2-3/4" shells to be adequate in a 12 gauge for my purposes, at least.

Thanks, I thought of that too.

A lady that I worked for moved to black bear country in Colorado. Her family likes to hike but never owned any guns and wanted a recommendation. Suggested a handgun whose caliber had a 4 in it.

Never fish alone in bear country without a .454 casul.
