Bear Pistols for bow hunters?

[Sheltowee]

Mmm... it is that time of year.

I hate that I need specialized gear for game recovery in grizz county but…hey when your life is on the line you have to do what you have to do.

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Yes I carry one. Will I use it before spray? Probably not. Do i have to battle the urge to blast squirrels every time one chatters at me? Without a doubt…

This one needs a little RJ The Hunter.

It'll probably upset you. I don't bother with bear spray. I prefer a sidearm in grizz country.

Do you have a relative named Harold?

He shot a .44 magnum, just sayin.

 

[BackofBeyond]

The common popular caliber sidearm nowadays seems to be the 10mm semi. for grizzly and black bear. Personally, I carry a .45 colt revolver.

and it's a miracle you haven't been gnawed on by a grizzled bar packing that pea shooter.

Luckily the day I forgot my bear spray I was carrying a mighty 7mm-08; renowned as one of the most grizzly stomping cartridges of all time

Being under gunned like that can get you killed really fast.
When I carting a varmint round like that I make sure I have my helpers with the big guns

Excellent reply, thank you for that insight. While I do believe that the .44 magnum would be plenty of power for a bear, a .357 has a lot less recoil and has proven to be effective. All of the research I have done would suggest that the ammunition availability is far better for the .357 as well.

Has anyone used a drone for grizzly patrolling? If so what do you recommend?? Does it have firepower?

Yes, we drone-mounted aerial sprayed our campsite with Counter Assault and no bears appeared at all.

I absolutely love this time of year. Non stop entertainment

Pure genius. I am trying it.

Still nervous about the spray shelf life, I did sleep with a sawed-off ten guage in a quick draw shoulder holster ... for added deterrent. 'Proved to work well, although not much sleep.

Dang. I had a wildly different experience. This is after I tried to spray the bear. I carry a sidearm instead now.

If you carry anything less than a .454 Casull you deserve to get eaten. I special ordered the matching pair of gold desert eagles.

10MM won’t get the job done. You need a 40Mm Grenade launcher.
