It was research done by anti-gun, pro-animal activists.<br /><br />Anyhow, minimum sidearm is .44cal with hardcast 300 grain bullets. I carry a 454 Casull. 460 S&W are also fairly common.<br /><br />12 gauge shotguns with slugs are what you carry for serious bear defense.<br /><br />Rifles are carried for hunting more than protection up here, but the Lever 45-70 is a popular "Guide Gun".<br /><br />AK907 Mountainmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-57650513303377325562014-03-19T17:39:26.820-07:002014-03-19T17:39:26.820-07:00I would concur w/ most said.
