That wouldnt work for blacks as they usually get a meal immediatly from inside the body cavity.thats why you should try to bluff them.You are dead if they get you down.Grizzlys,they advise covering your head with your arms and using a fetal position to play dead.When you quit moving they are supposed to cover you and wait for you to tenderise.I,ve never tried this but I hope if I have to someone has explained to the grizzly how he is supposed to behave. sam.

I too would like to be armed but Canada doesnt allow it so I will try what they say if I have to and thats probably where I,ll wind up,right in the scat.Their smell in the summer is enough to drop a man. sam.

I once heard a joke where a guide was asked what he would do if confronted by a grizzly. "Why, I'd reach back and grab a handfull of cr@p and throw it in his eye's". When asked where he'd get said cr@p, he replied "Don't worry. It'd be there!"

For the $ a 44 super blackhawk is one of the most durable, "used to be" widely carried handguns for guides.

As for the slug comments,
On the show "when animals attack" theres documentation of a grizzly being dispatched with a 12 ga with slugs..
Wish I could find a archive of old "Herters" shows..

I remember a salmon fishing episode where a guide put down a griz with a slug gun. The Guide loaded alternating 00 and slugs.
My favorite was..
A bull elephant charging and George L dumping it with a perfection model 44. The bull fell within yards....
Anything is possible when the right energy is applied..
Timothy Tredwell >man kinds 2 legged bear snacks...........

I spend a lot of time in the Appalachian Mountain so we only have black bears. If you find yourself in a situation without ample firepower it’s always good to carry mace/pepper spray. Spraying a bear with mace overwhelms their extremely sensitive sensory system, almost instantly causing them to turn away.
