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.>
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 !

A case of “A sharp stick in the eye” - and a well placed sharp stick, too.
