I had a friend who was camping in the mountains in Colorado with his girlfriend. A large black bear came into their camp and was not interested in leaving. He had a compact 40 cal and fired it into the ground in front of the bear which convinced it to leave.

The only good bear is a dead bear.

Warning shot to the brain works well.

The Colt Python is a revolver I started coveting way too late in life — well after their value went through the roof. I had to content myself with a Ruger knockoff (which of course I have since lost).

Not with the YouTube I watch

Consensus is high powered rifle with penetration ammo 300 mag minimum

Id carry 340 weatherby minimum

For pistols seems 44mag is good but 10mm high cap are best

Always penetration rounds

.45 has been found repeatedly in the skull or just under the hair and super thick hair hide and fat layers with little penetration

.357 would be bear minimum
