My son in law frequently goes hunting in grizzly country and I asked him if he carries “bear spray”. He said yep, its called a .357.

Me too....fishing near Yosemite.

S&W Model 686, 7 shot .357, with 200 grain hard point.

You’d better be able to get back on targer for as many follow-up shots as possible!

Folks keep talking about carrying rolling canons, without confidence in their ability to do this.
(.44 mags, .50’s, etc.)

A tad light,.44mag is preferable. I never leave home without it when going into the woods across the road. Bad critters there. My buddy’s 13 yo nephew shot an over 6’ cougar sneaking up on him. One shot, through the eye, at 100 feet, with a BOW !
