That 22 just pisses off Mr. Grizz and makes him more determined to eat you.

By golly, but that’s a fair point. I like my 22 hollow point revolver. That is, if I still had it. Unfortunately I lost it in a boating accident a few years ago. These things happen.

No way would I go into bear country with only that 22. And with a 12 gauge shotgun, perhaps.

Quick story.
A friend of mine went hunting in Alaska. His guide carried a 12 gauge double- barreled shotgun. “If a bear attacks, two shots will be all that you’ll get,” the guide said.
