Never go out in the back country without a gun.

He said he couldn't remember how big the bear was. "How can you tell, when the SOB is trying to give you dental work?" he said.

Lucky man, especially if he wasn't armed.

Bear vs man...bear always wins the fight.

Good advice but I don't think it would have helped this guy. Sounds like the bear was too quickly on him.

Not that he seems to mind all that much, anyway. Good man. Real good man.

I got the same impression from the article.

If you go into the bush without a .44 mag, you're asking for trouble!

I saw this Disney movie a long time ago and a bear was fighting with an African tiger. The tiger got his licks in but every once in a while the bear would smack that tiger with a paw and it would go head over heals about twenty feet in the air.

Yes, Presa. Ain't he beautiful? Wish he were mine. :-(

Several like him, or those Karelian Bear Dogs you mentioned, and you'd have time to get off a shot.

I'd carry something bigger than that. Nice trophy for whoever found my body.

Don't remember it offhand.

I saw two black bears up north when I was deer hunting a couple of years back. Incredible site.

And I had my gun ready just in case.

Never shoot a bear with a hand gun. You'll make it mad.

If someone wants to use a handgun on a grizzly they would be advised to first file the sights all the way down. That way it won't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up their hind end.

A .454 Casull is more than enough, I think. Still, I'd rather have a rifle and some dogs with me for a big griz.
