I worked in Alaska and we had trouble with bears all the time. Blacks were no problem, just dump a round under their nose and they dove back into the timber. However, grizzles don't give a crap if you are carrying a pistol. We had .338 Winchesters around for them. I would pack a shotgun everywhere I went. Yes, a pain in the butt, but better than the bears. Grizzles have no sense of humor and usually have a bad attitude.
