Bear bullet?

[skeet]

The bear encounters I know of personally were all at chewing range..and they were doing so. One was killed with a very lucky one in a thousand shot with an arrow and one with the 3rd shot from a 41 mag..the last with the 3rd shot from a 44 mag. All the chew'ies survived..the chew'ers did not. but we did have a hiker killed not far from the site of the 41 mag killed chew'er this summer. He was unarmed except for bells and pepper spray. Neither worked of course. I know quite a few hikers that carry a handgun in grizz country. Most carry in their backpack?? It's a PITA to carry a handgun..but when ya really need it...it's in your backpack?? Don't make a lick of sense to me
