[PSYCHO-FREEP]

That would be awesome in the Alders. Although we always brought in a spotter pilot in a Super Cub watching our path ahead of us. I carried a short HK-91 & 20 round mag. with 250 Gr. R.N. (.308 Win.)

Never had to use it in the Alders. I had a policy to never let the Bear get there in the first place. But my partner had a few get away and we hated every second of it. Talk about “TENSE” moments!
