Better to be alive and investigated than dead after obeying all regulations.

Carry a reliable firearm and know how to use it.

They are the best item to have to stop a bear from hurting year.

They don’t mention the type/caliber of firearm used.

I suspect it was a rifle or 12 gauge.

My choice, like so many others, is the 12 gauge.

I would only use ANY pistol if I didn’t have anything else.

the bear was an adult female grizzly in good condition with no history of conflict and was estimated to be 13 years old, and weighed about 250 pounds

250 pounds? It must have been starving to death.

I’m surprised liberals haven’t tried to make killing attacking animals become a criminal offense. They can’t help following their instincts so they aren’t at fault. And they are obviously correct to assume the human is a threat, look at what happened!

A sling will relieve some of the stress on your back/shoulders.

I have heard of people carrying a .25 ACP calibre Raven semi auto pistol for protection. Seems too light.

And now will be charged with hunting without a license, which happened to this lady who shot a cougar that broke into her house.

“250 pounds? It must have been starving to death.”

Not really that low. Too early to fatten up for hibernation.

.357 Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman Hard Cast is reputed to drill a 4.5 foot hole through any living thing.

I have shot bears with rifles, shotguns, and a couple different handgun calibers.

If one knew he was going to be attack by a bear one wouldn’t go.

Handguns are handy that they can be with you where as a shotgun or rifle,

Is easily put down and walked away from
